Virgil reviewed the match over and over again. He ran computer simulators, ran mathematical calculations (well, no, he didn't, he just blackmailed several of the smartest strategists in the DL involving a certain incident...you know the one...well, no, you don't, cause there are a lot of those, but you get the idea...to do it for him, but that's not the point!), even tried to roleplay the fight with action figures, in order to get a feel for the fight!
...all results ended in failure. Virgil knew he couldn't win; a madman like Loki was not his forte. So what did he do? Made a phone call of course!
The day of the match arrived. Virgil wasn't anywhere in sight. Loki was about to laugh at his easily claimed victory...until a big blue sphere of light enclosed the arena, and Loki...well, there wasn't much remaining of him. Of course, everyone KNOWS Virgil lacks a move like that, so it was obvious there was some cheating involved. Naturally, Loki got the win by default.

"So let me get this straight, Terra, you just blew up the opponent of the same guy who defeated you last round...why?" said Celes.
"Well, he did admit he couldn't win for starters, so rather than show up, have to deal with one of Loki's ridiculous prebattle rants only to lose and be in pain, it'd just be easier to go out the indignified way, by watching Loki get nuked from the side lines, and merely lose by interference."
"Uh-huh...that still doesn't explain WHY you helped Virgil though."
"Oh, that? Well, he's not such a bad guy once you get to know him! In fact, its thanks to him, the kids can sleep easier at night knowing a certain...friend of his...won't be bothering them anytime soon." Terra replied " That, and the fact that its always fun to make a fool of Loki..." she said winking.
Needless to say, while Virgil did in fact lose the fight...many would deem him the unofficial winner. But then again, that's a common occurrence here anyway, isn't it?
