He lurked in the depths of the forests. He abducted and killed children. He stood quietly in the shadows by day, and lurked in the trees by night.
It was a regular night for this super tall, super skinny, well-dressed, faceless man. He stalked his prey, lured them in with his eight pages, sent his slaves to torment them, and then made his appearance. At approximately 04:27, his proxies came across one being with long, beautiful silver hair. They sat on a rock staring down into the creek below. Jackpot. The proxies had their next meal.
As the proxies approached, they realized the pure size of this one. Although not nearly as large as their master, this one was far from small.
"Can I help you with something?" the being asked the proxies. The voice so smooth, yet so demanding.
The proxies growled and lunged at them.
The being proceeded to stand and bear the shining massamune sword, which stopped the slaves in their tracks.
"Ssssephiroth..." one proxy hissed angrily.
After standing silently for a minute or two, slenderman walked calming into the scene.
"My my my..." he began. "What is it that we have here?"
"Somebody trying to enjoy peace and quiet" Sephiroth grunted.
"In my territory? On my grounds?" Slenderman cackled. "Must have lost a bet."
"Wouldn't think so."
"What brings somebody like you into my woods?"
Sephiroth remained silent. Evidently, tension began to build between them as both parties grew impatient.
"Hm...regardless, you are standing in my forest." Slenderman's tentacles reached from his back.
"Sounds like a personal problem" Sephiroth pulled massamune closer to his body.
"You have some sort of death wish?"
"Do you?" Sephiroth focused his stare on the center of slenderman's face...or lack thereof.
The proxies retreated, leaving their master and Sephiroth alone by the creek. Slenderman stepped closer to Sephiroth. He towered over the silver soldier, but Sephiroth stood his ground.
"You have huge balls to be talking to me like that." Slenderman's tone warned.
"Probably bigger than yours." Sephiroth looks him up and down. This pissed off slenderman.
"Listen here, short stack! Either you leave right now, or kiss your freedoms goodbye."
Sephiroth laughed internally. 'Why must he be so dramatic?' he thought.
"Only after you kiss my ass." He might as well have antagonized a bit. Nothing better to do.
Having not moved, one of slenderman's tentacles reached out to grab Sephiroth. This ended poorly as massamune sliced it in two.
'Stupid...' Sephy thought again.
Having seen this, slenderman's tentacles retreated except one, which turned to steel and used as a sword.
The two ended up in a full duel. Slashing, slicing, grunting, and clanging. Basic sword sounds.
'Why won't he die??' slenderman wondered.
'Why won't he calm down and leave?' Sephiroth groaned audibly.
Slenderman summoned more of his tentacles to use as swords against Sephiroth. Still, Sephiroth held his own and continued to flawlessly deflect every attack.
It had gotten to a point in the battle that slenderman gave up. What was the point in continuing of Sephiroth is just going to humiliate him? Upon retreating his tentacles, Sephiroth withdrew his sword and sat upon the rock, staring back at the flowing waters.
"You're good. We should do this more often." Slenderman sounded sure of himself.
"Nah. I only battle those who present as big as their mouths."
And at that, Sephiroth stood. His wing shot out, and he floated away, leaving a very bamboozled slenderman to stand alone for the remainder of the night.
