Ryu (Breath of Fire III) |
|||
The mightiest of all the blue-haired heroes who bear the Ryu name fears absolutely nothing. If Goddess Myria didn't intimidate the Broodling, what is there to say about Lloyd, a mere vassal to Melbu Frahma, one of the league's most legendary failures? One whose greatest asset is the instant death of Dragon Buster? Sure, it may be perfectly accurate...but a Talisman and an Asura Sword grant Ryu full immunity to instant death, turning Lloyd from a fearsome knight into a sad, sad puppy. And while that puppy puts his tail between his legs, the dragon-kin can transform into Kaiser and rip the Wingly Lloyd to shreds however he wishes. Ryu's superiority over dragoon hunters is obvious, and he shall prove it...very painfully. |

After enduring seasons upon season of mocking, Lloyd has finally cemented his position in Godlike with a victory. And now comes his chance to solidify his position further: the reigning champion's head on a platter will be the perfect trophy. And really, there's nothing that can stop him. Ryu's a slow, powerful fighter, while Lloyd is blindingly fast, and one of the most skilled swordsmen in existence. And with the Dragon Buster, bane of all draconic foes, in Lloyd's hand, Ryu doesn't stand a chance. As a dragon, Ryu dies instantly to the might of Lloyd's enchanted blade; as a mere mortal human, Lloyd's powerful Wingly magicks will tear Ryu's frail body apart, leaving Lloyd a powerful legacy for seasons to come in Godlike. |
SageAcrin "Oh, god, not you again." Momo said, horrified, as a familiar figure appeared at her door. "Oh, no, no, look, I'm here to apologize." Rikku said. "Please let me in?" "Why doesn't she sound like she's eaten an entire ice cream cake any more?" Rei said. "I'm here to make up for what I...I mean, well...I guess I did." Rikku said. --- "...Well, doesn't that beat all. Multiple personalities?" Rei said, shaking his head. "Yeah, it sounds pretty strange to me to." Rikku said, staring at her shoes. "But you believe me, right? I mean, if there's anything I can do to make up for it..." "Of course I believe you." Momo said. "And it's no-" "Hold on a second." Rei said, dragging Momo over to one side of the room. "Ouch! Rei, what..." "Shh. Listen. Ryu, remember?" "What about him?" "He's fighting a dragonslayer, and he's one that's smart enough to have all of us under guard. He's even guarding Peco, and I'm not sure the onion has enough brains to wander into the arena by accident, let alone cost a Godlike his match. But Rikku has resources, and isn't under guard." Rei said, smiling. "Do you follow me? It'd even be justice, she's caused a lot of trouble over the years." "Well..." Momo said, shrugging, as she turned back to Rikku. "Well, there is one thing you could do." "Name it, I'll be glad to help." Rikku said. --- The match was expected to be a intensely pathetic one. All the money was on Lloyd, the dragonslayer. Oh, some of the more technical minded people talked about Ryu resisting instantly killing attacks, but most of the crowd didn't buy it. Lloyd had managed to permanently kill a Dragoon, which isn't even as much of a dragon as Ryu is. Of course he'd win. (Well, more or less permanently. The fact that Lavitz was in the crowd didn't especially phase anyone.) Lloyd, certainly, believed this would be an easy win. He simply chuckled quietly the entire time, softly smiling Then he froze with that smile on his face. Literally. As a massive blast of ice sheared out of the arena floor, encasing him. Since Ryu had shortly turned into an ice dragon before this happened, everyone simply assumed that he had done it, even the judges, and that they'd just missed something. Rikku, of course, knew better. "Heehee! Did you see that? Just a few dozen Ice Gems and enough time, and I can pay back that stupid girl that's screwed up my life!" Rikku said, triumphantly. "...does it strike anyone else as really surreal that she's talking about herself like that?" Paine said. "No more surreal than your outfit. It's good to see her stop being an idiot." Auron said, staring at Rikku. "..." Yuna said, shaking her head. She still hadn't gotten over the realization that she'd been trying to emulate a headcase split personality. "Well, I guess our troubles with Rikku really are over." Momo said. "Who would have thought?" "Heh, and she won me a lot of money, too." "Rei! You bet on a rigged match?" "Of course I did. You can lose money on the other kind." Rei said, spreading his hands. "Well, that was fun, but I'm tired of staring at the Godlike in the ice block. See you!" Rikku said, running happily down the hall. Then she tripped on a far-flung ice chunk, and fell flat on her face. "...Oh no." Paine, Auron, Yuna, Momo and Rei said simultaniously, as Yuna rushed to shake Rikku awake. "Huh? What happened?" Rikku said. "Are you okay, Rikku?" Yuna said, concerned. "Rikku? Is that your name? Nice to meet you. Hi! I'm Viki." Rikku said happily, as five people groaned... --- "Chu!" Rikku's Chu-Chu personality bellowed into the darkness. "Ha! So you're stuck in here now, too! It's time for me to pay you back!" Rikku's X-2 personality said. "I think you're both forgetting something." Rikku's original personality said, her eyes flashing a moment. "Not only have I been stuck in this head a lot longer than you two, which makes me mentally stronger than you? I'm a lot better of a fighter than you two. Put together. And you both have made me look bad for a long time. I may be stuck inside here, but you two are going to be removed from my head. Permanently." Rikku said, affixing a Godhand that appeared out of the darkness of her mind to her hand. "Um...?" "Chu!?" "I'll even be nice enough to give you a headstart." Rikku's dominate personality said, smiling, as she pulled out a grenade. "AAHHHHHH!" "Chu! CHUUUUU!" "Whoever's in control right now may be causing trouble up there, but they've given me time to take care of a few problems." Rikku said, giggling. "I'll get rid of these, take care of that last personality, and I'll finally get to be a normal person again. Now, to kill that Chu-Chu first!" She said, dashing into the darkness of her own mind...
