Season 37, Week 4
Jade
(Breath of Fire)
 
Only two fights left for the Bug Lord before he claims the Double Championship he so rightly deserves. How fitting then, that the one who should try to bar him from his rightful position has claimed that very honor herself, and did so against Jade many seasons ago. But things will be different this time. Now it is Jade who has the power of momentum behind him, and he will not be stopped by Piastol again. No matter how fast she is, her speed edge is still dwarfed by the defensive advantage he possesses, and while the Tempest Dance may be feared, BoltX is by far the more deadly of the two signature attacks. This time, history will NOT repeat itself!

The feared scythe mistress of Godlike continues to cut a swath through all of her opposition, breaking down a bratty "master" of time and space in her last round. None have been able to stop her so far, and Jade is not talented enough to oppose her, as Piastol has so elegantly proven before. His best trait is his high HP and the infuriating BoltX, which Tempest Dance and her high magic defense handle with incredible ease. In addition, Piastol can take a lot of damage herself, so a damage race favors her no matter how the duel goes. Without his tricks Jade is just a big bug with an attitude, something Piastol should have no trouble at all swatting.

The Angel of Death was looking a little nervous of late. Edge's constant attempts to harass and attack here, while unsuccessful, had begun to fray her nerves. Every day and night. At all hours. Be it Edge, a paid minion, or just simply a Fuma thrown in her generation direction. What made it worse was the constant harassment from the DL police. Constantly getting questioned and fined for minor reasons or none at all. Piastol had amazing resources at her disposal thanks to her Godlike titles and vast fortune she saved up from her wins, but even her most secure buildings and locker rooms were constantly being invaded and fought over. Defending against that stretched her thin, or maybe a little more. With Edge's obvious subversion of the DL police, only paid flunkies and Galcian would assist her. She couldn't go anywhere else for help.

Even in the arena, Piastol faced trouble. She had to dodge a hail of thrown Defenders, beat up a dozen FFT Knight in a Kill Bill style fight, and sprint her way past a spike pit trap just to get to the ring. Just making it to the ring was a relief. At least she knew what her foe was going to do...

..Normally. Jade, Godlike champion who so wanted a rematch with the last person to stop him in the finals, had been perforated by errant thrown weapons from various Ninjas. A single Tempest Dance literally knocked Jade into several bloody pieces.


After that, the real fun started when Eblan and Orlandu's combined Ninja army stopped lurking and directly attacked Piastol in the center of the ring. Piastol fought off the attack desperately, barely holding her own. One question raced through her mind: Why hadn't Edge himself closed into attack here?

---

"That's part of goal three down, at least. With the constant attacks on Piastol, neither her sanity or stamina's going to last long." The expression on Edge's face was amused. He had an evil twinkle in his eye to match. "Wish they hadn't mauled Jade, but..more chances to make her suffer. Oh yes."

Edge sat back in the comfort of Orlandu's private suite at the top of the arena. He was by himself, as Orlandu and Fuse had already went go to handle Raquel.

"Mmm. About time for me to head off to the arena as well.."

Jade: 25
Piastol: 46

Piastol ridiculously out speeds Jade and tempest dances him out of Godlike. Jade will continue to fear blue hair until the end of time.
