A HFY Story : Deathworld Adaptors | 1997~ Deathworld, War, Terran & Humans

Humans: We'll play nice if you play nice but if you threaten the kids, no more Mr nice Human.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Exactly!

Unless your the catholic church, lol. These stories ignore that child abuse is as human as throwing a spear.

[@SergeyWaytov]

Yeah, I first didn't get it, then it made ALL the sense, Im too much of a nice guy most of the time, so didn't get the innuendo first attempt, I personally would've punched clean couple teeth for a Crocodile Dandy styled hat, THEN rip a tail off the "hinge"

[@anathardayaldar]

Alternate ending: Human advanced all the way to the finals and was congratulated on incorporating magic into his combat so well and so quickly. His reply: "Wait, you guys have magic?"

At first, I assumed the twist would be that he didn’t use magic. That the Terran selection was held in private to hide that our martial artists don’t need magic to compete. But this was satisfying in a different direction.

[@lenschwedt9646]

That wasnt magic,that was pure adrenalin fueld by rage

[@noppornwongrassamee8941]

Honestly, given the RPG terms used to described Controllers and Instinctuals, I thought the story was going the RPG route where humans combined practitioners of the two styles into single units that reinforce each others' strengths and mitigate their weaknesses. Basically magical combined arms.

[@taitano12]

Not just Controllers. I think many, if not all, human Battle Mages could adapt that quickly. However, without the emotional factor, they won't be quite as strong in either category if they focus on the Adaptor magic. But it really is unpredictable what would set one off. Depending on a number of factors, the set off might not have been quite as strong even in this scenario. It would still be a dangerous surprise, though, and lizard boi would have still been hurt pretty bad. Even if Paul had just had a particularly bad fight with his daughter. Among humans, it's hard to find a parent who isn't this protective. Even evil parents who are willing to pimp their own kids will do worse than kill you if you do hurt their kids; even if they allow it for others in their "inventory" and abuse them themselves.

[@noppornwongrassamee8941]

Some humans when enraged don't go berserk like the guy in this story. They go ice cold and calculating, practically turning into super fast battle computers that figures out how to take down the offender in the fastest, most efficient (or painful) way possible, and then executing those plans equally quickly and efficiently. So an enraged human controller could become even a more powerful controller.

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

the difference between being slaughtered in a methodical effort to be efficient... or trampled by a rampaging beast thats likely to mistake the nerve twitches of corpses to mean it needs to smash it harder ..and either one can shift into the other at a dime ;) doess suit a endurance and persistence species good though.... save the rage for when its best used and wear down your opponent by forcing them to expend energy hunting you or ....fleeing from you

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

@@noppornwongrassamee8941 all cold and ruthless ...until the time they need to strike hard ,thats when the 'beast' is leet lose one might say to have its rage flood the controller.. mind of controller.. body of a berserker... yep ,fits in nicely with how adrenaline works to in a 'combat' sense

[@chronred8190]

there are also those that are so incredibly in tune with their own instincts and soul that controller and instinct merge together, simultaneously using reason and emotion, focus and impulse which while it may not make them as agile as a pure controller or as strong as a pure instinct, nor give them the ability to shift easily, the fact that the two combine would still make their strikes that much more dangerous along with their instinct

[@nixpardus3575]

imagine the cold rage version of instinctuals that get hit, dont even flinch and then just crack the planet they are standing on

[@Iskelderon]

"Rip and TEAR!" 🤣

[@patrickmoore5317]

Yeah that's about how I expected that to go. Awesome little story. But what people don't understand is, when you get to that skill level and someone managed to take you off there's a point beyond a blinding hot rage. There's a point where you can call it a cold rage. A point where the burning heart rate run so hot that a switch is flipped and ice water flows through your veins. In that state, nothing else matters and you will use every tool against the ire of your rage. Whether it be social, jokes, precision, and all that unbridled fury is now your fingertips.

[@carlfromtheoc1788]

You can just imagine Bruce Lee slapping the lizardman and then asking, "What was that?' Followed by Bruce rubbing his nose with his thumb, dancing a bit and then disassembling his opponent.

Sounds like the lizardman got off eazy he only lost his tail and not all his limbs and then his tail

[@davidtucker9498]

Meanwhile, the lizardman just genuinely heard that his daughter was a nice person and good company, and was trying to give the alien a genuine compliment...

[@TransbianOwl]

Yah, that was a huuuuuuuge mistake on the lizards part... you don't threaten children of any kind around humans. Sure one or two might not care or even harm children themselves... however, the vast majority will proceed to rip you (and that small maniority of child hating and hurting humans) a new one at even the slightest threat.

[@robertmochel6798]

Two things you most always be careful of and be scared of. 1: The controller a person in control and can make the enemy move how they want, but you never get them angry since they than become a berserker which can not be stopped unless you kill them since they feel no pain and only want to curb stomp their enemy into the ground and make sure they never get up again. The only thing worse is number two. 2: A fighter that lets his emotions control them and lets them lead them in the fight, but when their anger emotions suddenly go cold they become true controller since they now see everything around them, what can be used as a weapon, and how his enemy will move and use those movements against them. When they become cold they can litter see everything and nothing his enemy can do will not be seen and nothing they can do to win. I have known both types of fighters and the truly scary one is the an instintual fighter than become a cold controller since their emotions are now so cold they make liquid oxygen feel hot.

[@dmaxcustom]

Threaten our families? Big no no, mister alien. You dont do that with the aliens that build ships around big guns.

[@mugenokami2201]

So the xenos didn’t learn the most important lesson: do not threaten the children under any circumstance

[@ryanstewart2289]

Humans: "You guys all do one or the other? Neat."

[@mariomachadofilho]

That tail is now over Paul's mantle when he speaks with his daughter's new boyfriends..

and if anyone had bothered to tell paul that not socializing with the other fighters is seen as a grave insult none of this would have happened, he would have probably even apologized.
