Op: Phoenix Mattimeo's Return (Pt. 2) And now, our continuation... Mattimeo stepped to the side as the X'hirjq reached him, nimbly dodging despite the bulk and size of the armor. He quickly assumed his most annoying voice parrody, that of a game show announcer. He then proceeded to blurt: "Come on down, you're the next contestant on 'The Spike Is Right'!!!!!!!!!" After this display he ran headlong towards the X'hirjq, only missing him because it dodged much the way he had before. He then proceeded to egg the lizard on by yelling out: "It's the Mr. Komodo Show!!! Where we fight and kill, only on Saturday nights at 8:00, right after The Pestilence's half-hour!". He then let the X'hirjq get in sword range, then did the worst thing he could have done if not in the armor: he grabbed the lizard amn and wrapped his legs around it, letting the eight inch spikes penetrate through the joints of the X'hirjq battle armor. The alien was screaming, but it managed to punch him in the helmet. While slicing it's hand in half on a crest, it forced matt to relinquish his grip. The battle raged on... Almost a half an hour later, with his armor scratched, Matt stood looking at the alien, which had about a half dozen punctures through it's armor. All of the sudden it grabbed a handful of things from its belt. It slung thenm at him, and he looked as three of them embedded in the armof his armor. "Oh, it's...it's...it's...it's one of those things!" he blurted, knowing how dangerous they were. He then raised his arm and pointed at the X'hirjq. "You showed me your spikes, now i'll show you mine." he said grimly. He clenched his fist, and a tight pattern of 3000 microfilament needles shot out, and converged on the lizrad's chest plate. Even the well built alien armor couldn't stand up. The alien pulled a crystal from its belt, and turned itself to dust. Matt walked towards Georgia. He also turned on his wide band reciever for his helmet. To Be Continued.
