| Hmph. Not much to say this time, fellas?
|
| Eh. Fish swim, birds sing, duellers are heavily outmatched, and time marches on. What's new?
|
| Well, what's there to talk about? We don't even have the post-New Years hangover.
|
| Speak for yourself. Ugh.
|
| What do you weigh, skull, 7 or 8 pounds, if that? I'm surprised you don't pass out just looking at a bottle of liqour.
|
| I'm half Irish, you know.
|
| Half Irish, all mouth.
|
| Hey! I resemble that remark!
|
| You really were suffering, though. I had to hold your hair for you all night long.
|
| ...but I don't have...
|
| Don't. Just...don't.
|
| Okay, but...
|
| Oh I'm sure he just dreamt that. Remember the time he thought we were all imaginary characters doing a fake talk show on some crappy website?
|
| Oh, Odin!
|
| Hehehe. So let's get started, folks.
|
| My thoughts exactly. Go!
|
| Yes, readers, it's time for another Behind the Scenes! Week 4 rolls by once again, and as usual the duellers are anxious to put their opponents out of the running for the Finals and a shot at a championship! Let's get started!
|
| It's about time you got to us!
|
| You can't ignore us forever.
|
| Would that I could.
|
| I'll run rings around you, pretty boy.
|
| You don't need to run, when you can fly.
|
| Fly all you like, you're not getting anywhere.
|
| Oh no, the scary scythe lady is after me. Maybe I should start carving birds onto my hand, that's sure to make her fall for me.
|
| What's the matter, want a hug from Mommy? Oh wait, that's right, she's a gigantic freak.
|
| Considering your track record with giant monters, you should be running. I won't just turn you into glass.
|
| Hmm. Parental abandonment issues or loving an emo. Which is worse? You decide. Thank you for your time.
|
| Well to be fair I would start mutilating myself if I was related to Alfina.
|
| True that.
|
| Am I...interrupting something?
|
| Self-multilation? Do go on.
|
| Get away from me.
|
| So, ladies...
|
| I know, I know, the fight. Well, I can block most of what Zeal throws at me. That and constant cheap healing should see me through, no sweat.
|
| Oh, no doubt you can throw off a few statuses, but that can only take you so far. I can kill you off before you even lay a finger on me.
|
| How about a sword?
|
| That too.
|
| But with the power of a Valkyrie...
|
| Valkyrie? Hah! A bunch of women wearing tin pots on their heads running around minding other people's business for them. Don't threaten me with Valkyries.
|
| Right, enough of that. Back to the floating black space fortress for you!
|
| Still makes more sense than the last chapter of VP2.
|
| I...have no arguments against that.
|
| And now...
|
| Whoo, shooting things.
|
| As a Maximillian Knight, I cannot fail!
|
| Of course you can. But let's hear your side of the story first.
|
| Well...I guess I'll just have to trust to my mighty Lightning Sword to see me through.
|
| Swords, axes, weird-ass weapons...it doesn't matter. A bullet in the head takes care of them all equally.
|
| No, not really.
|
| So, Fred, where's your girlfriend?
|
| ...she's not my girlfriend.
|
| Hehehe. Of course not.
|
| Shut up!
|
| But I don't really think that he and Rico were...
|
| Who was talking about Rico? I meant Connie.
|
| ARGH! You and your stupid rumors.
|
| Connie? That's just gross, dude.
|
| ...what? Okay, that's it. Scram, you two. I'll not have BtS soiled by this sort of nonsense.
|
| But...
|
| OUT! Well, that just about ruins my taste for these things. Okay, let's just get this over with.
|
| AXE TO AXE! THIS WILL BE THE ULTIMATE BATTLE!
|
| You don't have to be so dramatic.
|
| Oh, but I do. This fight will be remembered forever!
|
| Sigh.
|
| Glad to see you're excited.
|
| EXCITED? I can't wait! The sights, the sounds. Fire Emblem versus Fire Emblem, Axe Knight versus Warrior...It's too much to handle while the arena awaits!
|
| And that's not even including the glory.
|
| Yes! The Glory of victory! The anguish of defeat! It's...it's blowing my mind!
|
| What are you...
|
| Just wait for it.
|
| Boy, I bet the stands will be packed with adoring fans.
|
| Of course! The fans! All screaming for blood! I can hear them now. All the blood is rushing to my head!
|
| And let's not forget your comrades in battle.
|
| All waiting to see if one of their own will fall. It's..it's too much....I...I...I..
|
| Um...what about refreshments?
|
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
|
| Wow. I never thought I'd see steam come out of someone's ears before.
|
| Overheating Bartre's brain is easy, but it's always amusing.
|
| Aw, lookit him on the floor. Like a little axe-bearing kitten.
|
| Let's leave quietly so we don't wake him up. He's going to need at least a few hours to cool down.
|
| We're on it.
|
| This is Chisato Madison, saying goodbye from everybody at Behind the Scenes. Ssssh!
