Once MWT finishes, I will be unlikely to join any further incarnations of it. I will concurrently refine the rest of the MWT pages and start drawing the SoS in earnest.

It will likely not be published in full here. I will most likely make a serial webcomic out of SoS, updated twice weekly or something. That will probably be in one year's time.

Alright guys, prepare for a...big update. Hopefully it will all fit into one post!

Page 52

I remember promising myself that this comic wouldn't ever get as ridiculous as Dragonball Z. Then again that was before I read One Piece.

Page 53

As I was saying.

Page 54

Regenerating walls do their stuff again. That should keep Orlestat busy for a while. Meanwhile, I find an excuse to break stuff I haven't broken yet.

Page 55

I've decided that in the full project, I'll divide this part of the narrative and intersperse it with action from the other versus matches. Hopefully that way Strop crashing through stuff and landing in piles of more stuff won't get old as quickly.

I also intend to break away from this arc at this point.

Page 56

A little time passes. Orlestat finally regains his bearings.

Page 57&58

Strop has taken advantage of the elapsed time to prepare a little dramatic irony. Those hanging bodies weren't hanging before he arrived. You'll see where I'm going with this soon enough.

Page 59

The dramatic irony works beautifully on Orlestat, who thinks this was how the bodies were left originally. Then again in such a grisly massacre as this, it wouldn't particularly matter.

Page 60

Movement! Something is flying at Orlestat. And it doesn't seem to be Strop. Orlestat is half expecting Strop to be hiding somewhere within the hanging bodies but this doesn't appear to be the case...

Page 61

Strop has sneakily planted a timed explosive arrow in one of the bodies. This actually takes Orlestat by surprise.

Page 62

Orlestat isn't taking chances, so he dodges the next body and cuts it loose so it doesn't explode in his face.

Page 63

But the second body doesn't explode, further frustrating Orlestat. The third one does, prompting him to think harder. And laterally. Now he remembers saying, on page 19, something about them being puppets.

Page 64

Orlestat spots, through the smoke, the tangle of ropes which all lead to one location. This must be where the puppets are being controlled. So naturally before any more bodies explode on him, he decides to take out the source.

Page 65

But he's flown right into Strop's trap! From his true hiding spot Strop fires a net at Orlestat.

Let's do some math. Strop's bow is nearly as long as he is tall, meaning the tensile strength of the string is appreciably large. The exit velocity of the arrows, therefore, is somewhere in the range of 30-40 metres per second, given that a net in an arrow would make it quite heavy. Given that Orlestat is barely five metres away from Strop when he fires, this gives him a reaction time of less than a quarter of a second, which is the average reaction time of a human. This means that Orlestat has no chance of escaping.

Page 66

...Orlestat, however, is a martial-arts expert, so his instincts are very sharp. Strop observed earlier that Orlestat, when faced with a net he cannot dodge, has not many options, the best being slicing the net apart. In this case, doing so has left him wide open, at full stretch with his qi channeled away from bodily defense, leaving him vulnerable to an inner-attack to his central gate, the same technique he used on Strop on page 18. Checkmate.

Page 67&68

Bonus points for recognising the exact reference.

...okay, I'll give you a hint. It's from Ong Bak.

Page 69

I just had to draw in a page to drive home the significance of a crashing defeat. Get it? Huh?

Page 70

For those of you who remember the beginning of Story of Strop, you may recall that on page 3 Orlestat uses the exact same phrase on Strop in a similar situation, but in a very different context.

I'll explain something here- the Mixed World Tournament is a standalone project as it really has more to do with Kai than anything else, but as told from Strop's perspective, actually comprises one of the final story arcs in the Story of Strop. I've already mapped out the basic plotline of SoS. The first volume is a series of flashbacks in the context of Orlestat's and Strop's first meeting, in which Orlestat drops in on Strop and gives him a hard time. Subsequent episodes will demonstrate the various milestones in Strop's development on his journey to seek how he should best apply the way of justice. The MWT therefore constitutes one of the most important stages of development for Strop as it will give him a great deal of perspective about where he stands.

This confrontation between Orlestat and Strop, therefore, will be their final fight and thus it is somewhat climactic and makes many references to their first meeting in SoS- that's why it's so long. I don't expect you to understand any of it as I'm writing this with all the character changes in mind already. The Strop here is more assertive, confident and sure of himself, but as implied by Kai's warning (and Orlestat's implicit agreement) and his refusal to heed it, he is still stubborn, perhaps a little too much so? Stay tuned to find out!

Page 71

I need more divided frames to denote the passing of time between Orlestat admitting defeat and sitting up.

Orlestat implicitly acknowledges that he was played, and played well.

Page 72

Strop unintentionally rubs this fact in his face some more. Orlestat gets snippy. This invariably makes me giggle.

Strop makes like an operating theatre nurse and inventorises his medical supplies, which must have a gaping hole in them thanks to treating Kai-splat.

Page 73

Has the immortal Orlestat undergone a change himself!? Or not really, he's always been this way...let's face it, Strop still doesn't quite get Orlestat.

Page 74

From behind that unfathomable poker face, Orlestat drops a big tell. Strop is stunned into silence, save for the cracking of his joints.

Page 75

Strop can't help but feel slightly disappointed that Orlestat won't at least lend his assistance in this matter. But maybe Strop understands him a little more.

Page 76

Strop exits. Orlestat waits. Curtains.

Phoo! I'll tell you now that was the single biggest chapter of a comic I've ever drawn. It took me a big chunk of my free-time from before Christmas up to now, so nearly a month. I am very glad that Cenere has been so kind as to put in a joke round, as I finished this technically a week late.

As I actually did this as fast as I could, at the expense of other projects, I'm actually feeling quite drained. Fortunately I will be up and ready to go as soon as I get the full info and discuss setting for the next round. However you may have to rely on scripts as I will definitely be taking a break from drawing MWT to finish things that I desperately need to do.

Hope this chapter has been suitably epic for you guys.

Strop, I have to say that that was absolutely epically cool. Awesome. There's three or four pages where I can't see what's going on because of sketchy lines, but awesome. And it has a few very laughable moments as well...

In my early days at AG, Devoidless and I engaged each other in light friendly rivalry of sorts. In fact one of the chapters of SoS will detail how Strop was defeated by Devoidless in a lightsaber battle as part of an exhibition match held in the Armor Courts (which represent the profiles and the network of forum debates that Moe, Devoidless and I set up back in May 2008).

Yeah, 'voidy and I got into an argument about lightsabers for the sake of arguing.

Okay, here's the script for MWT: Strop-vs-Sasquatch & Co. I have taken the liberty of implying that Sasquatch & Co. have a history in AG already, in particular making references to Sasquatch's past appearances in the forums. If this is improper I can rewrite, it's not too much trouble, but there's more lulz this way.

So I'll go to it!

-Oh Sun..- The boy looks up at the sky where clouds fills the blue sky until there is nothing left. The sound of explosions are heard, and the great city crumples into ruins. -And so it ended..-

As all the contestants left once again stand before the Tower, the speakers hum a little. Good, children, you have lived through the tests and the hate of your opponent. But there is still a long way up to the top. I will be waiting for the strongest of you.. The screen flicker a little, then the new pairs a written there.

The hum increases once again, then ends.

Strop: Hate of my opponent? How presumptuous.

Strop is fiddling with his quiver straps and thinking about something (like why the town was just razed to the ground) when he is interrupted by a thunderous "WTF!?" It's Sasquatch in all his fresco glory, with Yeti curiously peeking out from behind one of his legs. Strop just turns and blinks at Sasquatch.

Sasquatch: WTF IT'S STROP!?

Yeti: Yeah, who'd have thought we'd run into a moderator here!

Strop: Oh, I know you guys. Are you my next opponent?

Sasquatch: (bursting into a fit) I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR LAUGHING AT ME IN THE ARTS AND CRAFTS FAIR!

Strop: What?

Yeti: (Clinging to Sasquatch) Calm down you big dummy! (To Strop) Sorry about big brother, he hasâ¦an anger management problem.

Strop: Oh, don't worry...that's precisely what makes him so funn- err, I mean, uh. Oh dear.

Sasquatch: RRRRAAARRRRRRRRR!!! PREPARE TO DIE!

Sasquatch charges at Strop with alarming speed, and brings out a...yellow banhammer!? Strop does a doubletake.

Strop: No way.

Sasquatch smashes Strop over the head with the hammer. Alas, the hammer shatters, seeing as it was fake and all. Sasquatch looks...well, "WTF!?"

Strop: If you want to kill me, we have to start the proper way.

Sasquatch: What's that?

Strop: (Brandishing a pair of oversized clippers) WITH A $2000 HAIRCUT!!! xD

Yeti: (Facepalm) Oh no he din't!

Sasquatch is momentarily blinded by rage. He thrashes about making craters in the ground with his fist, but Strop dodges around and behind him. I don't really need to detail what Sasquatch is yelling at this point because I'm sure you get the idea.

Strop: I'm over here you big lunk!

Strop should probably have kept his mouth shut because it promptly receives a giant fist with the force of a speeding comet. Strop plows through several ruined buildings before coming to a rest in a pile of rubble. Yeti is standing over him.

Yeti: You're in for it now. Big brother is very sensitive about his hair.

With that, Yeti summons a lightning bolt and scorches the spot Strop was occupying just a moment before. Strop runs away (because he really hates being electrocuted) and almost walks straight into Sasquatch's flaming fist again. Strop then spends the next few seconds dodging Sasquatch's fists (because he also really hates being burnt). In the end, between Yeti's elemental abilities and Sasquatch's firepower, he has his hands so full that he gets set on fire by Sasquatch, then put out by Yeti only to be subsequently zapped by a lightning bolt. However this is not perfect and Yeti nearly hits Sasquatch.

Sasquatch: WTF WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!

Strop positions himself such that Sasquatch is between Yeti and him and therefore Yeti cannot directly attack him, and throws a boulder at Sasquatch. Sasquatch blows it apart with one hit, and Strop uses the opening to land a solid kick on him. Sasquatch is only angered further.

Sasquatch: RAAARRRRR WTF!?

Strop: That's not good.

Sasquatch grabs Strop and throws him into the air. Strop summons his bow and fires a grappling hook into the tower, and swings around it. Eventually he swings all the way around and runs smack into a very large, grassy wall which wasn't there before. Strop looks up and finds a very large earth elemental creature. Overgrowth.

Yeti: You idiot, you'll kill us all!

Sasquatch: HAHAHAHAHA NOW CRUSH HIM TO DUST OVERGROWTH!

Overgrowth then proceeds to try to grab Strop, missing and leaving massive craters in the ground, setting off earthquakes as he does so. The ground starts breaking apart and showing big cracks.

Yeti: Quickly, use landslide or we'll all die!

Overgrowth sucks up the rubble and grinds it into dust, blowing walls of sand at Strop. Yeti uses her water powers to turn it into walls of mud that threaten to entomb Strop. Strop grabs the rope from the grappling hook and swings back around the tower, hiding in the lee of the current of the mudslide, then up and flies at overgrowth.

Strop: (to himself) Overgrowth is a summons so this is still kosher!

Strop summons his bow and fires incendiary arrows at Overgrowth, but overgrowth is too big to even feel it let alone burn up, and merely grabs him. Strop grabs an emergency kunai but alas, he used all his explosive tags escaping from Orlestat!

Sasquatch: (Charging up his flaming fists) Leave him to me!

Strop fires several arrows at Sasquatch's feet, which forces him to dodge backwards and he gets hit in the face with a paintball arrow.

Sasquatch: (Pawing at his face) WTF MY EYES!

Momentarily distracted, Sasquatch loses control of Overgrowth, who releases Strop. Strop uses a luminescent arrow and fires an incendiary arrow at it, causing it to explode with a great flash. Yeti is temporarily blinded.

Yeti: Where did he go!?

Strop appears behind Yeti suddenly, wielding his banhammer.

Strop: Sorry. You'll be fine by tomorrow.

Strop conks Yeti on the head and she drops unconscious. Sasquatch has recovered his vision just enough to witness this. He is rather upset.

Sasquatch: WTF I'LL TAKE REVENGE!

Strop starts running and takes a flying leap.

Sasquatch: EAT THIS. MEGA FLAMING BELL-PEPPER ATTACK!

Sasquatch hurls a giant flaming bell pepper at Strop. Suddenly Strop appears to dodge- in reality he has grabbed the rope from the grappling hook and hoisted himself out of the way. The bell pepper flies directly into Overgrowth's chest and Overgrowth bursts into flames, flailing as he falls.

Sasquatch: WTF NOOOOOOOOOOOO!?

As Overgrowth shrivels up and scatters as ashes, Strop lands and Sasquatch walks towards Strop, an overpowering tower of rage. He takes out a remote control device with a single, fateful button on it. It's the "EAZY BUTTON" remote.

Sasquatch: Sis made me promise not to use this. BUT SHE WON'T KNOW NOW, RAHHHHAHAHA!

Sasquatch jams the button with his finger. Nothing happens for a moment. He then looks down and sees a small capsule that makes an ominous ticking noise. Strop points at the remote.

Strop: Oh yeah, I fixed it.

Sasquatch looks down at the remote. The letters SL are scrawled in front of the EAZY to make it the SLEAZY button. Then the timebomb explodes, covering Sasquatch with a familiar purple smoke. When the smoke clears, Sasquatch is wearing leather bondage gear with metal studs and spikes. If his WTF expression was big before, now it is utterly ridiculous. Strop then peels off his ninja suit to reveal the much rumoured satin negligee (yes, that negligee), and slinks towards Sasquatch.

Sasquatch: THIS IS, LIKE, TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE OMGWTF!?

As Strop approaches Sasquatch, Sasquatch finds himself paralysed, then he starts flailing and twitching. Then his eyes roll back and he foams at the mouth, and he falls backwards in a dead faint. Strop eyes him a moment, then breathes a sigh of relief.

Strop: I'm glad that worked. It could have gotten really awkward.

Strop then starts walking off, eventually disappearing through the smoke from the remains of Overgrowth and picking up his ninja suit along the way, muttering.

Strop: Geez, how many overpowered characters do I have to go through to serve a little justice around here?

---

Yeah. The pink negligee had to come out eventually.

Okay, here's the script for MWT: Strop-vs-Sasquatch & Co. I have taken the liberty of implying that Sasquatch & Co. have a history in AG already, in particular making references to Sasquatch's past appearances in the forums. If this is improper I can rewrite, it's not too much trouble, but there's more lulz this way.\r\n\r\nSo I'll go to it!\r\n\r\n[quote]-Oh Sun..- The boy looks up at the sky where clouds fills the blue sky until there is nothing left. The sound of explosions are heard, and the great city crumples into ruins. -And so it ended..-\r\n\r\nAs all the contestants left once again stand before the Tower, the speakers hum a little. [i]Good, children, you have lived through the tests and the hate of your opponent. But there is still a long way up to the top. I will be waiting for the strongest of you..[/i] The screen flicker a little, then the new pairs a written there.\r\n\r\nThe hum increases once again, then ends. [/quote]\r\n\r\nStrop: Hate of my opponent? How presumptuous.\r\n\r\nStrop is fiddling with his quiver straps and thinking about something (like why the town was just razed to the ground) when he is interrupted by a thunderous "WTF!?" It's Sasquatch in all his fresco glory, with Yeti curiously peeking out from behind one of his legs. Strop just turns and blinks at Sasquatch.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: WTF IT'S STROP!?\r\n\r\nYeti: Yeah, who'd have thought we'd run into a moderator here!\r\n\r\nStrop: Oh, I know you guys. Are you my next opponent?\r\n\r\nSasquatch: [i](bursting into a fit)[/i] I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR LAUGHING AT ME IN THE ARTS AND CRAFTS FAIR!\r\n\r\nStrop: What?\r\n\r\nYeti: [i](Clinging to Sasquatch)[/i] Calm down you big dummy! [i](To Strop)[/i] Sorry about big brother, he hasâ�¦an anger management problem.\r\n\r\nStrop: Oh, don't worry...that's precisely what makes him so funn- err, I mean, uh. Oh dear.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: RRRRAAARRRRRRRRR!!! PREPARE TO DIE!\r\n\r\nSasquatch charges at Strop with alarming speed, and brings out a...yellow banhammer!? Strop does a doubletake.\r\n\r\nStrop: No way.\r\n\r\nSasquatch smashes Strop over the head with the hammer. Alas, the hammer shatters, seeing as it was fake and all. Sasquatch looks...well, "WTF!?"\r\n\r\nStrop: If you want to kill me, we have to start the proper way.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: What's that?\r\n\r\nStrop: [i](Brandishing a pair of oversized clippers)[/i] WITH A $2000 HAIRCUT!!! xD\r\n\r\nYeti: [i](Facepalm)[/i] Oh no he din't!\r\n\r\nSasquatch is momentarily blinded by rage. He thrashes about making craters in the ground with his fist, but Strop dodges around and behind him. I don't really need to detail what Sasquatch is yelling at this point because I'm sure you get the idea.\r\n\r\nStrop: I'm over here you big lunk!\r\n\r\nStrop should probably have kept his mouth shut because it promptly receives a giant fist with the force of a speeding comet. Strop plows through several ruined buildings before coming to a rest in a pile of rubble. Yeti is standing over him.\r\n\r\nYeti: You're in for it now. Big brother is very sensitive about his hair.\r\n\r\nWith that, Yeti summons a lightning bolt and scorches the spot Strop was occupying just a moment before. Strop runs away (because he really hates being electrocuted) and almost walks straight into Sasquatch's flaming fist again. Strop then spends the next few seconds dodging Sasquatch's fists (because he also really hates being burnt). In the end, between Yeti's elemental abilities and Sasquatch's firepower, he has his hands so full that he gets set on fire by Sasquatch, then put out by Yeti only to be subsequently zapped by a lightning bolt. However this is not perfect and Yeti nearly hits Sasquatch.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: WTF WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!\r\n\r\nStrop positions himself such that Sasquatch is between Yeti and him and therefore Yeti cannot directly attack him, and throws a boulder at Sasquatch. Sasquatch blows it apart with one hit, and Strop uses the opening to land a solid kick on him. Sasquatch is only angered further.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: RAAARRRRR WTF!?\r\n\r\nStrop: That's not good.\r\n\r\nSasquatch grabs Strop and throws him into the air. Strop summons his bow and fires a grappling hook into the tower, and swings around it. Eventually he swings all the way around and runs smack into a very large, grassy wall which wasn't there before. Strop looks up and finds a very large earth elemental creature. Overgrowth.\r\n\r\nYeti: You idiot, you'll kill us all!\r\n\r\nSasquatch: HAHAHAHAHA NOW CRUSH HIM TO DUST OVERGROWTH!\r\n\r\nOvergrowth then proceeds to try to grab Strop, missing and leaving massive craters in the ground, setting off earthquakes as he does so. The ground starts breaking apart and showing big cracks.\r\n\r\nYeti: Quickly, use landslide or we'll all die!\r\n\r\nOvergrowth sucks up the rubble and grinds it into dust, blowing walls of sand at Strop. Yeti uses her water powers to turn it into walls of mud that threaten to entomb Strop. Strop grabs the rope from the grappling hook and swings back around the tower, hiding in the lee of the current of the mudslide, then up and flies at overgrowth.\r\n\r\nStrop: [i](to himself)[/i] Overgrowth is a summons so this is still kosher!\r\n\r\nStrop summons his bow and fires incendiary arrows at Overgrowth, but overgrowth is too big to even feel it let alone burn up, and merely grabs him. Strop grabs an emergency kunai but alas, he used all his explosive tags escaping from Orlestat!\r\n\r\nSasquatch: [i](Charging up his flaming fists)[/i] Leave him to me!\r\n\r\nStrop fires several arrows at Sasquatch's feet, which forces him to dodge backwards and he gets hit in the face with a paintball arrow.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: [i](Pawing at his face)[/i] WTF MY EYES!\r\n\r\nMomentarily distracted, Sasquatch loses control of Overgrowth, who releases Strop. Strop uses a luminescent arrow and fires an incendiary arrow at it, causing it to explode with a great flash. Yeti is temporarily blinded.\r\n\r\nYeti: Where did he go!?\r\n\r\nStrop appears behind Yeti suddenly, wielding his banhammer.\r\n\r\nStrop: Sorry. You'll be fine by tomorrow.\r\n\r\nStrop conks Yeti on the head and she drops unconscious. Sasquatch has recovered his vision just enough to witness this. He is rather upset.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: WTF I'LL TAKE REVENGE!\r\n\r\nStrop starts running and takes a flying leap.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: EAT THIS. MEGA FLAMING BELL-PEPPER ATTACK!\r\n\r\nSasquatch hurls a giant flaming bell pepper at Strop. Suddenly Strop appears to dodge- in reality he has grabbed the rope from the grappling hook and hoisted himself out of the way. The bell pepper flies directly into Overgrowth's chest and Overgrowth bursts into flames, flailing as he falls.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: WTF NOOOOOOOOOOOO!?\r\n\r\nAs Overgrowth shrivels up and scatters as ashes, Strop lands and Sasquatch walks towards Strop, an overpowering tower of rage. He takes out a remote control device with a single, fateful button on it. It's the "EAZY BUTTON" remote.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: Sis made me promise not to use this. BUT SHE WON'T KNOW NOW, RAHHHHAHAHA!\r\n\r\nSasquatch jams the button with his finger. Nothing happens for a moment. He then looks down and sees a small capsule that makes an ominous ticking noise. Strop points at the remote.\r\n\r\nStrop: Oh yeah, I fixed it.\r\n\r\nSasquatch looks down at the remote. The letters SL are scrawled in front of the EAZY to make it the SLEAZY button. Then the timebomb explodes, covering Sasquatch with a familiar purple smoke. When the smoke clears, Sasquatch is wearing leather bondage gear with metal studs and spikes. If his WTF expression was big before, now it is utterly ridiculous. Strop then peels off his ninja suit to reveal the much rumoured satin negligee (yes, that negligee), and slinks towards Sasquatch.\r\n\r\nSasquatch: THIS IS, LIKE, TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE OMGWTF!?\r\n\r\nAs Strop approaches Sasquatch, Sasquatch finds himself paralysed, then he starts flailing and twitching. Then his eyes roll back and he foams at the mouth, and he falls backwards in a dead faint. Strop eyes him a moment, then breathes a sigh of relief.\r\n\r\nStrop: I'm glad that worked. It could have gotten really awkward.\r\n\r\nStrop then starts walking off, eventually disappearing through the smoke from the remains of Overgrowth and picking up his ninja suit along the way, muttering.\r\n\r\nStrop: Geez, how many overpowered characters do I have to go through to serve a little justice around here?\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nYeah. The pink negligee had to come out [i]eventually[/i].
