Tuco on 8/5/2003 at 04:53
((Presuming Exile wrote his own ending, given he was alive and Tuco/Jordana/Ryushi were not, I guess it's up to me to talk about what would happen if Tuco won.

And did you really think what I wrote is good Tuco?
It was pure gold. You must have a lot of experience at this, very creative, and I did notice your Dirty Harry reference.))
Lonely.
Lonely is He.
Lonely is He, the Champion.
Lonely is He, the Champion Who Strides to Achieve, to Excel, to Dominate.
Dominating All, Being the Best, Standing at the Top, He is Forced to Look Down on All He Meets.
All Despise. All are Jealous. All Quake in Fear.
Only Those Who Worship Him out of Fear Love Him.
A Love to Share His Power, to Capitalize on His Success.
This is His story.
Lonely is He, the Champion.
((If you can't tell I'm down tonight! haha))
As Tuco raised his sword, Ryushi rose from the lava he was previously cast into. Like an angel he floated above the lava, unscathed and unhurt. Landing he nodded to Jordana, then turned towards Tuco and Exile.
"Fought through the Nine Lairs of Hell, Killed the Dragons that swept the Icelands to the South, Done battle with the manifestations that created the Universe, I have. I don't think you'll pose a problem, three mortals out for vengeance.." Tuco resonants his voice throughout the chamber.
"I've slayed you once, I'll slay you again." Ryushi spits at Tuco's feet.
"Your death is as secured as madness." Exile grins at Tuco.
"My revenge will not be long." Scowls Jordana.
"So be it, The Trio before me stands, hand upon metal, my blood spelling with their intent. So be it." With that, Tuco began his preperation.
Bringing to surface the same energies that fuel his existence, Tuco summons the Shield of Übel to guard his body and protect him in the coming battle. The shield strengthens him with its vile purpose, and protects him from the harm that besets him currently.
Tuco knows he is out matched. He may be over confident, but he knows when he has the probabilty not on his side.
He does not feel lucky.
Wanting to lower the number by one party, Tuco goes after what appears to be the weakest opponent, the fair Jordana Chal. Tuco doesn't wait to strategize his attack, his enemies press on him from all sides. Tuco swings a potentially fatal blow with Lilarcor humming in glee. Expecting to behead Jordana, Tuco is met with suprise.
Steel was introduced to steel. Jordana used tact and grace to defeat Tuco's superior strength and power.
Stepping back to recover and re-think, Tuco's shield was met with the business end of an angrily held Chrysamer. Suffering no real damage to his person, but off balance, Tuco was unprepared to defend against a Daedric Battle axe to his Daedric Face of God.
On his knees now, his oppressors grinned savagely at the fallen Champion.
Tuco painfully muttered a word, "Übertragung", and waved his hand quickly into the air.
Instantly dissapearing and re-appearing 30 feet from them, Tuco got up and flexed his body. No damage had been done, but Tuco had been temporarily bested and his Shield of Ubel weakened. His enemies were high in moral and he was unsure of the power of Jordana.
Knowing none would fall readily, Tuco used this time between now and when his enemies would be at his front.
Help was needed. "Rufen Sie Freund Zusammen." and a quick movement of his hands was all Tuco needed for two human sized vortexes to open, and two spirit possessed armors to step through.
"Not the only one to use souls. Umbra and Roshkryst, meet them, or rather, their souls damned.." Tuco said, his mouth grinning. "And Exile, I believe you still possess my Masque."
Tuco, in taking a step forward, Umbra and Roshkryst both took two steps in the direction of Exile, Jordana and Ryushi.
"Ryushi, you take the befouled armor on the left. Girl, you take the one on the right. I claim Tuco and his soul." Commanded Exile.
The two, while gritting their teeth and being commanded, especially Jordana, saw the intelligence in such a command. But Ryushi took note of the comment on Tuco's soul.
Ryushi and Jordana advanced onto the possessed Armor, swords drawn they met with immediate fury. It was soon to see that Jordana and Ryushi were the superiors in this fight, but there was still a fight and they were delayed.
Both grinning, both tense, both angry, Tuco and Exile gave a stride, a lunge, and an attack meant only for them to exchange a blow on each other's weapons. None were the stronger in the initial attack. Both stepped back with the quick speed of a spider, and immediately began to engage eachother in combat. The blows were mostly feints, the connections of weapons were weak at best, and none made contact with the others body. This was a period of testing.
The armors were being battered, slashed and damaged, but they had no blood, no organs. Still swinging with fierce aptitude, Jordana and Ryushi were slowly besting nearly indestructable suits of armor.
Tuco saw a hole in Exile's protection, and made his move. Exile saw his mistake before he made it, and mid-swing he parried Tuco's thrust of his sword with his other axe. Tuco's sword trapped, Ryushi took advantage and brought down his axe where Tuco was a second ago. Tuco, now having leapt to magical heights in the air, summoned Lilarcor in his hands and descended with a flip and a blow to Exile. The blow was met and succesfully blocked by an axe, but the jarring action knocked loose Exile's axe. It was now one weapon to another.
Ryushi, with his stronger weapon, had succesfully defeated his suit, and began helping Jordana on hers.
Jordana declined any aid, "Go kill Tuco." She said as she weakened the point that held the Daedric Mask of Heaven onto the pauldrons and cuirass.
Tuco grinned as Lilarcor was easily outmatching a single axe. Gaining a few poor shots on Exile's body, Tuco had the upper hand in the fight. But Ryushi was incoming, Tuco could smell it.
Trying to gain as many blows as possible on Exile before Ryushi entered the fray, Tuco fiercly used Lilarcor.
Lilarcor couldn't be happier.
Ryushi's first swing, the quickest he could get off, was met by a magical spell that Tuco summoned in his mind. Some medial one-use block, only to stave off Ryushi's attacks for a few precious moments. Ryushi was unphased by this suprise. He lunged at Tuco uncaring about himself, sword pointed forward. Tuco met his opponent with his own sword, deflecting it but failing to consider the heavily armored body hurtled towards him. Knocked back a few steps, Tuco shoulder was struck by Exile's axe. The Shield of Ubel now gone, Tuco's daedric pauldron suffered a slight dent.
Tuco made a swing that appeared to be for Exile, but changed course and struck an suprised Ryushi in his chest.
"So... the Dragonbone Cuirass protects you from fire... It does not, however, protect you from steel." Taunted Tuco, reveling in his blow. Retracting the sword, Tuco gazed on blood gleaming on Lilarcor.
"First blood." Grimaced Tuco, because at that moment Exile's Axe was buried in his left shoulder.
"Reargh!" Screamed Tuco. "You will PAY for that, mad fool!"
Tuco, now having something to be angered about, increased his ferocity. Raining fell blows upon EXile, Tuco forgot everything in his rage. Not caring where the blow landed, only caring that it hit something hard, Tuco exerted all his strength on Exile's figure. Beaten back, unable to properly parry with an axe, Exile was at Tuco's mercy... and Ryushi.
And now Jordana, as she finished off the armor, she fired an arrow at Tuco. Unfortunately for her, the arrow burst into flames before it hit its target. Angered at this, she dove for the melee.
Tuco was now being assailed by desperate blows from Ryushi, in order to draw him off Exile, who was now being cut deeply.
Tuco suffered wounds as well, from Chrysamere. But Tuco was not one to be interrupted. Once Jordana got within sword reach, Tuco summoned his magics to distract the two once again.
"Kraftstoß" was what uttered from his mouth, and Ryushi/Jordana felt a magical gust of wind or force blow them many feet across the cavern. Exile had now regained his footing, and was holding his own against the angry, uncalculating Tuco.
The two battled perilously close to the lava. The heat could be felt by both. Ryushi turned to Jordana. "Get down, now. This time, I mean it. Exile! Watch out!"
Tuco, deaf by his own rage, was unaware for the next move from Ryushi.
Exile hid just in time for Ryushi's body burst into a more natural flame. Then the flame expanded into a dome, encompassing everything inside the Citadel. The fires burned away at rock, glass and Ebony. Tuco, caught unawares, took the full effect of the blast. He was knocked into the flames and lava uncermoniously.
"And now, Tuco, your soul will fuel the power that enables me to dominate Morrowind!". Exclaimed Exile.
"Not so fast, Orc lover. The soul is mine, you would be dead without me." Argued Ryushi.
"I think not. I will kill you if need by, but my powerful artificats were built for this moment. Please, for your sake, do not stand in my way. This is mine, do you understand me? Mine!" Retorted Exile.
"So be it, have at thee. Tuco's soul will give limitless power to my blade, not for some political manuever!" Responded Ryushi.
"Hmmpf." Replied Exile.
The two locked into an unwanted battle of greed. Both desired Tuco's soul, it being the most powerful soul to inhabit the world.
Exile was beginning to gain the upper hand as an arrow firmly found itself imbedded in his left leg.
"... Bitch ... " Growled Exile.
"Opps, is that MY arrow? Here, have another one, please." Chagrined Jordana.
"Thunk." Right unto the upper right thigh was another arrow into , quickly followed by one to his neck.
Ryushi wasn't one to stand around and watch the show. His sword zinged into the side of Exile as arrows were steadily shot towards them, each striking Exile in deadly accuracy.
Ryushi reared back, and swung with all his might to deliver a fatal blow, one to Exile's neck, severing it from his body.
The head, with its helmet still intact, landed with a thud onto the rock.
With that, Tuco arose from the lava, it dripping off his body, glad to be away from the evil that Tuco excretes.
Tuco laughed out loud. "You cannot beat me Ryushi. You know it's impossible... YOU CANNOT BEAT ME!"
Tuco's laughter filled the cavern as he began to cast spells on Jordana. "Anschlag" She screamed once she found her hands paralyzed.
Ryushi scowled and...
((I'm fucking tired, and that's longer than I thought originally it was supposed to be, ffs))
