Demons To The Left of Me, Undead to the Right, Here I Am Stuck In the Middle With You
The sun was starting to sink on the Western horizon and into the Pacific Ocean as another day was ending. A few miles south of 1800 Palos Verdes Drive the ground erupted in a spray of dirt. One by one soldiers came forth from the ground. Some were Spartans, some were Roman legionnaires, and some were Norsemen. A total of three thousand eventually stood in the dying light. They moved into formation and started marching.

	Skurge charged forward, sweeping his own troops out of the way as he moved. Nothing would prevent him from reaching the Asgardian. Once he was close enough he bellowed as the large axe started to swing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn provides a great distraction for Svalin at least. Thinking nothing of tactics or safety, he rushes Skurge, swinging his own axe in turn, leaving himself open to an assault in response. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin kept moving toward the large man. Her sword never stopped and she continued to cut a path to the man taking a swing at her brother. Blood ran from various cuts over her body, but she didn't pay them any mind. There would be time after the battle to see to them. Provided she was still alive. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The axes collided and metal rang off of metal. Skurge growled and threw a left at the man's face as he pulled his axe back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn takes the hit, jerking him to the side with the force of the blow, responding by turning back with a vicious backhand of his own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Skurge stumbled back a bit from the blow, but he didn't go down. He brought the axe forward, aiming right for the man's head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin came up from behind and took a swipe at the back of his legs with her sword. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn has enough instinct to move his head aside, the heavy axe burying itself into his shoulder instead, burying itself down to bone. His left hand comes up and grabs the axe handle to keep it from being pulled out of his shoulder so his swing can't be parried in turn, swinging the two handed axe in just his right hand at Skurge's torso.

	Skurge was a bit surprised at the sudden sharp bite of pain in the back of his legs. They buckled a bit as the sword cut across the back of thighs and the other man's axe bit into his shoulder. "Play time's over children," Skurge sneered as he hefted his axe out of the other man. "Skurge has had enow!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge shield_maiden 2009-09-22 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Recognition settled in. Svalin and Halbjorn had grown up hearing tales of Skurge and how he menaced the Golden Realm with that cow Amora and with Loki on occasion. She drew back her sword and once again aimed a blow at his legs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge stone_bear 2009-09-22 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Halbjorn makes no recognition of the words, his off hand still clutching the haft of the Executioner's axe as its pulled from his shoulder, hacking down with his own blade as he pushes forward, pitting his strength against Skurge's. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge nextgen_asgard 2009-09-22 06:18 am UTC (link)
	There was another bite at the back of his thighs, but he couldn't turn to take care of the woman delivering the blows. He bellowed as the axe bit into his shoulder. He pushed forward against the man, pitting his strength against the other man. Skurge knew he was far stronger than most. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge stone_bear 2009-09-22 06:35 am UTC (link)
	Halbjorn isn't most, or even most Asgardians. And while this might usually be a very interesting contest, gripped by the bear-sark, Skurge will soon find himself being driven backwards into Svalin's assault. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge shield_maiden 2009-09-22 06:40 am UTC (link)
	This wasn't working. The sword from the practice room was Migard made and was only scratching Skurge at best. She needed her Asgardian sword to do any real damage. But she would do what she could. When Skurge starting moving backward, Svalin crouched low and waited for him to fall over her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge stone_bear 2009-09-22 06:56 am UTC (link)
	Svalin's tactics appear sound, Halbjorn's relentless charge forcing him back to topple over her. By now he's already broken his own axe on the Executioner's flesh, and begins wrestling with him for possession of Skurge's weapon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge nextgen_asgard 2009-09-22 07:07 am UTC (link)
	Skurge tripped and fell backward over Svalin. The fall and the impact with the ground cause him to loosen his grip on his axe in the slightest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge stone_bear 2009-09-22 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Its not the Bloodaxe, but its a weapon. Halbjorn tries to rip the axe away and swing wildly. Normally, a warrior such as Skurge would easily be able to avoid the swing, but Svalin may well be able to interfere further too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge shield_maiden 2009-09-22 07:15 am UTC (link)
	Skurge did try to evade the swing, but Svalin was there. She drove and wrapped her arms around his legs. While it wasn't exactly an honorable fight, they were facing impossible odds and getting desperate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

More of the undead try to swarm the fight, getting thrown back, though yet more leave marks as they struggle with Halbjorn. The next time he swings the axe, at least a couple skeletal, now disembodied hands cling to it as he swings wildly, not distinguishing his sister from Skurge in any meaningful way, just trying to put down anything that moves and gets in his way, though he's at least somewhat focused on the man who dared challenge him.

	Skurge yelled as the axe cut through flesh. He had managed to move, but only a little. The axe came down on his arm and nearly cut it in half at the elbow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge shield_maiden 2009-09-22 08:27 am UTC (link)
	Svalin lost her grip on Skurge when he started moving around. She grabbed her sword and stood up and immediately went after a few soldiers that had gotten close. Halbjorn could take care of Skurge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge stone_bear 2009-09-22 08:32 am UTC (link)
	He keeps after Skurge. There's other movement, but it seems to be moving away from him - i.e. not a threat he has to deal with yet. He hefts the axe again, swinging away at the big warrior in powerful, savage swings, heedless to his own injuries and just daring any resistance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge nextgen_asgard 2009-09-22 08:49 am UTC (link)
	Skurge blocked the blows as best as he could, but he was unarmed and more strikes hit him than not. Blood was flowing freely from various wounds over his body. He threw punches and kicks whenever he could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: vs. Skurge shield_maiden 2009-09-22 09:17 am UTC (link)
	Svalin occupied herself with the soldiers. She did check on her brother between each swing just to make sure he was okay and not distracted by something else. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Halbjorn is full of arrows, covered in cuts, and tomorrow he'll be black and blue all over, if he lives. His left arm, by all logic, shouldn't be operative. At the moment, he's just oblivious to all of this. The punches jar him side to side. He's even knocked aside several times, hitting the ground more than once, he just keeps rising again, swinging away at the other warrior, just as he's going to keep doing until he or Skurge is dead.

Its quite possible they may both end up that way.
