Aika>>>Nelis

Gogo>Zylo

[Taishyr]

Gate claims Suicune>>>Decus.


I'll claim Jenova>Antenora, Chaos>Kurando, Rose>>>Hahn, Albert>Meredy, Kent>Hix, Fargo>Rafa.

[Monkeyfinger]

Margulis>Meganium

Margulis started the battle with a weak sword strike that nevertheless hurt a little due to being coated in flame. Meganium growled in response.

Repeat 6 times.

With Margulis's sword techniques reduced to gentle, mildly warm pokes, Meganium got cocky and started to toy with Margulis, prancing around him and occasionally healing off minor wounds. "Mega! Mega!" Gloating over reducing a fire user's offense to nothing was great fun for it for a while, but eventually it got bored and decided to finish things. That's when Margulis used all his accumulated boost to knock Meganium down with a Rakta, then vaporize him with 3 more, faster than he could blink.

No one ever accused non-psychic pokemon of being smart.

Eirika>Alfina

"I'm unfamiliar with your opponent..." Seth mused. "Newcomer, but a pretty frightening, monstrous one, if the mental state of her last opponent is any indication." Eirika nodded, and drew her Sacred Twin. "If she's as horrific as I hear, this holy relic of Renais will put a swift end to her."

Eirika galloped into the arena and found herself face to face with a huge, shapeless black monster, with countless tentacles sprouting out. Nodding, she charged toward it, dodged a swarm of black orbs, gritted her teeth as an unerring beam of energy bloodily raked her, then stuck the vile creature twice with Siegilnde, landing a critical blow with the second strike and causing it to dissolve in a spectacular show of dissipating darkness and ear-piercing screams.

"I heard your opponent is a mighty warrior, so I summoned some... help... to soften her up", Emelious said to his sister Alfina in the stands. He smiled. "Don't say I never did anything nice for y- WAIT, WHAT?"

Emelious and Alfina listened to Xorn shriek in agony, and watched him break apart, right before their very eyes. They took one look at each other, nodded, and ran.

Eirika was awarded a victory, overjoyed with her success and none the wiser as to what really happened.

[superaielman]

I have Jean>Cius and Chaos>Kurando.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I'm claiming Rose > Hahn and Valeria >>>> Keneth.

[Taishyr]

Jenova>Antenora

"NO. YOUR MOTHER FORBIDS IT. YOU MAY NOT ATTEMPT TO SEDUCE THAT MAN WITH SEXY DEATH THROES. EVEN EVIL MOTHERS HAVE ETHICS." Jenova-Death boomed through a "mouth".

"...You... you aren't... This is Antenora, Jenova." Antenora said kindly.

"AND?"

"... I'm not Hojo? Nor am I your son, Sephiroth. I'm, uh. You're not related to me at all."

"...AND?"

"So will you please lay off the parental advice?"

"I DON'T REALLY SEE WHY."

"Because we're supposed to be fight-AAAAAH FIRE GET IT OFF GET IT OFF"

"OH. WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME YOU WANTED TO BURN TO DEATH FIRST. ...SINCE YOU AREN'T MY DAUGHTER, WANT ME TO MAKE SURE THEY RECORD THIS FOR VINSFELD?"

"Please do."

"OKAY."

"Thanks. AAAAH FIRE PAIN AGONY OOOOWOWOWOWOWOW"


Rose>Hahn

Both fighters utilize a skill that causes death in the person targeted, without hesitation.

Rose possesses an item allowing her to guard against the mystical magics capable of stealing life straight from the bones, thus protecting her against her own ability if needed.

Hahn does not.

However, being a learned man, and Rose being a wise woman with many years behind her, the two came to an agreeable conclusion.

"Put me out of my misery, Rose! Please! I beg of you and your good nature! Help me!"

Apparently Alys wedgies are far more brutal than a lot of things out there. Rose understood, thanks to fanservice clothing, and had no problems issuing the merciful end for Hahn.

Alys is just angry that Hahn's managed to get up to her level in the DL, the little dweeb.


Albert>Meredy

"Ohmigoooooooooooooood Meredy loves-loooooooves it! It's so big and fluffy and cute and huggable and adorable and Quicky can ride it and - and - and - weeee!"

"So. Albert." Reeve looked to the king with a slight grin. "Was it worth it to buy one of my Cait Sith dolls?"

"Completely." The king smiled contently. "Better than fighting such a lass in the arena. I'd not be able to sleep with myself if I did so. And the cost total?"

Reeve passed him a slip of paper. Albert took a glance, before his eyes narrowed on Reeve. The Shin-Ra executive shrugged. "You paid for the best in customized AI there, friend."

"How much can I get if I apply the Albert's Royal Discount coupon?" Albert asked casually.

"What coupon?" Reeve asked, bemused. "I don't remember acceptin-"

Albert raised his spear to face Reeve's left eye, a slight grin on his face.

"nnnnnnnnnnnot that I remember all the coupons I issue! Of course we'll accept that one! Hold on a second and let me check with my manufacturer..." Reeve ducked out, leaving Albert to sit there watching Meredy and Quicky ride on the Cait Sith doll.


Fargo>Rafa

Fargo isn't exactly the most ethical of duelists. Rafa is a woman with a traumatic past, who still is recovering from all the details therein.

"...so you beat 'er in an 'onest fight, Fargo? Gettin' a wee bit soft in ya old age?" Kid asked with a snigger.

Fargo looked at Kid steadily for a moment. "And what would have happened if I dressed up like Barinten?"

"You'd have scared that bird straight outta the arena, that's what!" Kid laughed.

"And invited the wrath of Malak."

"Yeah, and who fears Mala-"

"And Ramza."

"...Oh."

"And, by extension, Agrias, Meliadoul, maybe Delita, Orlandu, Worker 8, Beowulf, Reis..."

"Okay okay okay I get your point already! Sheesh. Coulda just said it was a bad idea..."


Kent>Hix

"Okay. You've got a lot of potential, that much is clear. However. If you want to truly harness the power of that sword of yours..."

"Ah... Ah! Yes, I see now!"

Rebecca strolled down the arena passageway with a plate in hand, a tune humming through her head as she smiled somewhat vacantly, frowning only at the sight of Tengaar with her ear pressed against the door of the room for which she was delivering food, paying little attention to the archer.

"Uh. Tengaar, the door's-" Rebecca started.

Tengaar looked up, and motioned wildly at Rebecca. With a pause, Rebecca set down the plate and moved next to the door, listening in as well.

"See, you can easily slide the blade in and out of its scabbard... like so. Your previous method was rather sloppy; far too rushed..."

"Ah..."

Rebecca paused, before looking to Tengaar, befuddled.

"It's the basics practice Kent promised Hix after Hix lost that match to him. What about it?"

Tengaar was giggling. "These two clearly have no idea what the sound like, you know?"

Rebecca paused. Then her face turned red. Then she thought about it a second more, and turned completely crimson. With a muffled "Eeeeeeeee" she sprinted away from the door, leaving Tengaar laughing loudly outside the door as it swung open. Hix looked out, eyeing Tengaar curiously. "What is it?"

"Oh... oh, Rebecca dropped off the food for you. Go... ahaha... go ahead." Tengaar said between breaths.

"Ah. Thanks." Grabbing the plate of food, Hix shut the door again, leaving Tengaar laughing still.


"So what was that about, Hix?" Kent asked placidly.

"I think Rebecca and Tengaar were listening in." Hix replied, eyeing the food. "Mmm, sandwiches."

"I am not used to the rations of this world yet, I must confess, but for the Lady Lyn, I shall endure." Kent said with the hint of a smile. "But why would... ah, the usual commentary on those who walk the road of the valiant fighter?"

"Yeah, pretty much, I'd guess."

A shadow passed Kent's face. "Bah. That happens far too often."

Hix paused, before his face flushed. "Wait, so you and Sain aren'-"

The flash of a blade was all Hix remembered before he fell unconscious. Kent glared at the young man, then the flat of his sword irritably. "And the fact that that caught you off guard means you still have much to learn, it seems."

[superaielman]

Jean>Cius

An honorable fencing duel between a pair of noble if inept swordsmen. Cius is faster, Jean hits much harder. Both are fairly tough and require a good deal of physical punishment to take down.

Only one of them has instant death. Honorable duels are good and all, but Jean's been burned repeatedly by fighters who took advanage of his honestly to avoid his Death spell.

He can honorably apologize to Cius after he's dragged out of the arena and revived by an annoyed Lelei.

Chaos>Kurando


The Inugami line has fused and mastered control over demons for countless centuries. What the Harmonixers haven't mastered (as proven by one Yuri Volte Hyuga) is mastery over time travel. More than that, Kurando's explosive physical blitzing offense is up against one of Godlikes' great physical tanks- one who can heal to boot. It won't be long before Kurando is out of MP and SP, flailing away at Chaos while the demonic master of the Four Fields laughs and blasts Saki's son halfway back to Japan with a hasted physical chain.

[SageAcrin]

Van>Cecilia:

It promised to be a simple match.

Cecilia would simply boost her defenses and speed to the stratosphere, then take whatever Van threw at her.

Simplicity, really.

There was nothing to be done about it, the match was hopeless.

Then Van smashed her face in with Lightning Stab.

It turns out that Van, a master swordsman already, hasn't let coming to the League dull his skills.

And that having Kary and Queen Zeal on the judges panel was a lucky break for him.

Regardless, despite the unfairness of it all, Cecilia, Godlike's whipping girl, falls again.

Of course, Van woke up three days later in a G-string with a bunch of hooting, perverted girls shoving dollar bills at him.

This is the Duelling League after all. It's not like any deed goes unrewarded.

Perhaps this match is a cliche.

Then again, usually Hanpan isn't hypnotizing old men into taking it all off.

So perhaps not?

Aika>Nelis

Nelis was sickened.

Her opponent had slashed her way through the ranks of the League using... a lollypop?

Was this some kind of a sick joke?

Nope.

Evidently the weapon was so weird as to shatter the minds of all that opposed it, a confection truly forged in the pits of hell.

Or was it just that people were easily confused?

Nelis, seeing her doom at hand, decided her options were limited, and went with the one that made the most sense.

---

"Why'n the hell did you just hit me with a triple layer cake!?" Aika shrieked as she wiped coconut and chocolate off her face.

"Turnabout." Nelis said simply, shrugging, as she lobbed a coconut cream pie square into Aika's baffled face.

Okay, maybe it was the option that would <i>also</i> embaress Aika the most if it didn't work.

A confused Nelis did end up wandering out of the arena eventually, giving her a technical forfeit.

Which was handy, since Aika was desperately trying to keep Quina from eating her clothes.

Which ultimately proved futile.

Nelis, later watching the footage of a nearly naked, covered in Quina slobber Aika beating Sten senseless with a lollypop, smiled.

It'd definitely been worth the try.

Gogo>Zylo:

Mimes don't let mimes mime mimes.

Zylo, in an effort to confuse his opponent, had decided on a brilliant strategy.

Do what he does!

It had worked to defeat him before, he'd heard!

Gogo, naturally, was game.

All too game.

Four days after the match started, a technical win was awarded to Gogo.

Sure, it looked like they both died of dehydration at the same time, but come on, there had to have been a delay.

Right?
