Patriarch Sergius XVII (Xenosaga: Jenseits von Gut und Bose) |
|||
Space Pope Power! Yes, everybody's favorite holy figure is back for another chance at ultimate DL glory! Yuri's a pretty good fighter, but can he handle the punishment that Sergius can pull out? Like his stat downs, which will slow and blind the Harmonixer, allowing the Patriarch to control the fight, especially after he boosts his own speed to get more turns. Not to mention his ability to Curse the man, causing even more chaos. And let's not forget that it's going to take quite a bit, even from Seraphic Radiance, to take down Sergius's impressive durability and defense. Elemental resists will also leave Yuri hard-pressed to dent his HP. If he can stall things out long enough, he'll get his full combo boost damage, which will undoubtedly finish the fight, Keeping in mind his ability to soak up damage, this is possible and something that makes him very dangerous. But he might not even need it, especially with the almighty power that comes with being the Pope..from Space! Sergius just can't be topped! |

Few could say they've ever truly prepared for facing down the unchallenged heads of galaxy spanning religions before; certainly it's a challenge that very few outside of Godlike itself can lay claim to doing. But if Space Popes are anything like Space Gods, Yuri's got nothing to worry about in this match - after all, the name "Godslayer" wasn't just for show! Sergius might favor a slightly different style than the beings Yuri beat into the dust a while back, banking on his incredible magical endurance and Curse status to see His Popeliness through, but Yuri's got that covered just the same. Careful juggling between Seraphic Radiance's massive damage output and Amon's recovery capability should allow him to weather the Patriarch down safely while Mind/Body Revival keeps him from being in too much danger from Sergius' paltry damage. A bit boring, perhaps, but it gets the job done in this match without much risk of error, and lets Yuri move on to bigger fish in the galactic ocean of opponents. |
superaielman "Spa...space pope. That's a new one." It hadn't been long since the Godslayer had graced the arena, but Yuri Volte Hyuga wasn't complaining. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of combat, and the not so simple pleasure of getting into countless adventures with Edge and company. Still, in all of his years, he hadn't ran into something so odd as Sergius. Where had Edge gone, anyway? As if by magic, a gentle knock came at the door. In walked Albert Simon, Yuri's onetime rival and sometimes ally. "Ah, Yuri. I'm not normally one to deliver messages, but the young man who left it was most insistent that you get this." Simon dropped off an folded piece of paper and left chuckling. "I have to say though, that Edge is a most creative young man. If only our native ninjas could learn from him.. heh heh. I never did care for Sergius's stuffy manner. Good day." Yuri picked up the piece of paper from his desk and eyed it with a good deal of caution. This could be trouble. The royal crest of House Eblan sealed the piece of paper. The words "Yuri" had been scribbled carelessly on the top, which was a far cry from Edge's normally fine penmanship. Yuri opened the letter. Carefully. "Hey! Yeah, I wouldn't worry so much about your fight. I called in a few dozen favors with the Old Geezer Cid and managed to get Sergius to sit down for Confession with me. Just show up at the arena as soon as you get this,and prepare for a free win! No, you can thank me later."-EE Yuri's response was simple, elegant, and to the point. "Oh HELL." The half russian haromixer ran as fast as he could to the arena, not even bothering to check his equipment. He wouldn't need them. --- Puffing with exertion and dripping with sweat was the cost of Yuri's mad dash, though it did get him to the arena in excellent time. Tearing through the crowds and leaping into the center of the ring was the easist thing in the world. The Patriarch Sergius stood in the arena as well. His normally sharp expression had been replaced by a blank stare. Drool flowed freely down his chin and his hat was on the floor right outside the ring, utterly forgotten. On the bright side, he was able to speak.. "I... how... did... Emerald WEAPON... Rune.. Cid.." He simply shuffled out of the ring, completely ignoring the half hearted calls of the judges for him to return and fight. They knew the signs of someone who had their mind shattered by Edge. Yuri shrugged. It was a win. It wasn't like Edge to do something like that out of the goodness of his heart. A sudden flash of memory triggered for Yuri, giving him insight. Sergius was always proud of his UMN Phase Transfer cannon and the incredible power it wielded. And wouldn't you know it, one of Ghaleon's girls was fighting Wren in the other arena. *BOOM!* It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened. Patriarch Sergius XVII: 21 |
