Event 13: American Gladiators
You can forget the events, the competitors, the... spandex? That's right, it's time for that old standby, American Gladiators, where two competitors compete in all sorts of physical challenges before eventually facing each other on pillars while wielding overgrown Q-Tips.
Our first competitor comes into this with the advantage of being a fighter from a famed RPG. Granted... he's not a very good fighter. And his durability is kinda on par with a regular Q-Tip. And he's most famous for... well, either hiding after taking a strong scratch, or just pining after a dead woman for twenty years. But Edward the Bard does come into this with one big advantage: he's hit puberty. Yup, he's up against Calvin. So we're seeing a grown ass man up against a pre-pubescent boy, but one who would consider this a dream competition if only he'd hit his teens.
Event 14: Win the Big Game
You know how it goes, the underdogs manage to get into the finals despite all the odds. And at this point, it doesn't matter if they're the Little Giants, the Mighty Ducks, or the Besaid Aurochs, you know they're gonna band together and pull off the last second win. Of course, this event is all about sticking our two competitors into that key position, to see if they can nail that last second goal, or if they're gonna be like Casey at the Bat.
Oddly enough, this is one of those matches where a straight up hero is less likely to pull it off than a reformed bad boy who's learned the value of teamwork. Our first competitor actually plays that straight, as we're looking at the opening villain turned team player Vegeta, second last of the Super Saiyans. He's got phenominal power, and he even takes part in the occasional tournament which means he's got all kinds of qualifications for this. But he's up against someone who's also kinda in the same position. If by reformed bad boy you mean completely unrepentant but always on the "good guys" side. If by becoming a team player you mean learns the value of patsies and stooges. And if by taking part in sporting events you mean surviving Flay's twisted Parent-Teacher Day bonding exercise. Yes, Goto takes to the field to save the day!
Event 15: Chariot Racing
Everyone knows how chariot racing goes. And if you don't, YouTube that famous Ben-Hur clip. That'll get your fix of high speed horse drawn deathtrap mayhem that Mario Kart is the modern answer to. Naturally, the winner is either the first one to cross the finish line enough times, or the last one standing. That said, no weapons will be allowed except for the whips used to spur on the horses, and possibly some chariot mounted blades to hack at opposing wheels. But that's all.
First up is the job class that best epitomises learning through pain. Yes, the Blue Mage makes their chariot racing debut. And, the nice thing is that any dirty tricks used against the Blue Mage is gonna be tossed right back at the foolish fool that uses them. Assuming, of course, the Blue Mage survives the trick in the first place. Aside from that, the Blue Mage is generally competant at most things, and should put up a good showing. But will a good showing be enough when he's up against someone known for adventure? Finn the Human is here to show how Charioteering is done. And while I know very little about him, the little I do know suggests that this should be right up his alley.
Event 16: Jogurt Herding
In the wild west, there comes a time each year when the great herds have to move to more fertile grazin' lands. But it ain't just any greenhorn that can herd the mighty Jogurt. After all, they swarm in herds a over a thousand. And being too rough on the critters kills 'em right dead cause they ain't the sturdiest beasts around. So, we're gonna be givin' these two city slickers their own Jogurt herds, and alla the tools they'll need ta herd the buggers cross the great plains o Sacae.
Our first herder knows his way round hustling a bunch a squishy mooks. The great Koopa King is gonna be tryin' ta see just how much like a swarm a goombas a jogurt's gonna be. He's also got one sweet steed in his flying clown copter. But, he can't use his army. He can have his kids as wranglers, but that'll be all.
Our second herder is a lot more used ta things that take a lotta work ta kill. S'why she's called the Slayer. But Buffy Summers is good at dealin' with all kindsa things that need quick thinking. And her friends'll make great wranglers.
Team Event 2: Tug of War
There's just not a whole lot to say about this one. There's a long rope, a team tugging on either side, and a pit full of mud between them. So, this match is all about team strength, without any fancy tricks or magical spells.
The first team is almost certainly going to be anchored by Baloo, the pilot from Tail Spin. Bears are known for their strength, and when he bothers to be, Baloo is pretty strong. Which is good, because the only other member of his team with much brawn is Bayonetta, who must have some strength to do all that jumping, running, and shooting (hey, it takes strength to keep guns on target when firing that often). The remaining two members of their team will be the mage from Duck Tales, Magica DeSpell, and the most annoying physicist in the world, Sheldon Cooper.
The second team is probably also going to have a slam dunk for their anchor in the Hero of Earth, Captain Gordon. While he may just be human, his strength can compare with demons and angels. Backing him up will be the slam dancing moogle, Mog who has a fair amount of brawn, even if he's lacking in size. Oddly enough, he won't be the only super shorty on his team as he's paired up with Hello Kitty. Finally, there's the team captain, Pevara Tazanohvi who only wishes she could use force of will, or simply the One Power, in place of strength of arms. However, like any good Aes Sedai, she will be annoyingly stubborn.
