Quarter Finals
Match 57
I'll be honest, this is the swimsuit contest, and I was planning to just stick up a picture of each. But, honestly, neither of them inspire people to draw them in a swimsuit. That said, my research did show that Yang's Wife is surprisingly attractive and, in fact, looks like she's in her twenties, so she's probably 16 or something. Of course, she's going to have her work cut our for her, as I just can't help but imagine Richard Hawk wearing a star-spangled suit looking all badass as fireworks go off behind him as the star spangled banner is played, and a flight of doves is released.
Match 58
Welcome to Whose Line Is It Anyways, the game where the rules are made up and the points don't matter. The way it works is that we'll pick out challenges, and the audience will fill in the details, and then our contestants will have to do their best to act them out. It's ad lib at its finest, and the best one will win a special prize.
Our first contestant is one of the few popes that aren't evil. Of course, this says nothing about his acting ability, of which I am also completely ignorant.
Her opponent on the other hand is known for being someone limited in what he plays, but still a very avid actor. That's right, let's give a hand for Mystere, or the White Knight Leo!
Match 59
It's time for the championship match! The game? Puppy Kicking! Why puppies? Because they'll come back to you! And so the challenge is combined distance over all of your kicks, over a set period of time. Making this a match of kicking power, ability to persuade the puppy to return to you, or your ability to go to the puppy, and quite possibly of your ability to battle your own conscience as you continuously boot these adorable, trusting creatures.
Our first competitor, despite being a fine athlete, and superb at the art of getting man and beast alike to trust her, will almost certainly one of those conscience types. Maria is one of those heroic types, and that's a distinct disadvantage.
On the other side, Rafa and Malak Galthanas may not be as athletic, and far less capable at inspiring trust, but Malak in particular is noted for his willful infliction of cruelty on small animals, and his sister, letting him focus solely on victory. Of course, detonation of any of the animals involved will lead to a swift disqualification.
Match 60
As Hollywood and fireworks technitians the world over can tell you, there's one thing all people love; large, needless explosions. And so we're setting these two loose to create the finest display of pyrotechnics they can devise.
Ultros brings in eight arms for additional coordination, as well as a kind of desperate cunning that's hard for even the most resourceful to overcome. What he may lack in vision, is more than made up with in tenacity.
Opposing him is Cloud Strife. This amnesiac Soldier may not be a pyrotechnician, but he has several flavours of fire magic as well as coming from a world where they at least have fireworks. Of course, just having seen these displays before is no guarantee of being able to duplicate them himself.
