Season 52, Week 4
Zero
(Mega Man X: Command Mission)
 
Zero's cleanup of the dregs of the Duelling League goes strong, and getting rid of a Lufia 1 character certainly qualifies! Slight eugenics aside, however, the warrior Reploid is very much in his element here: the half-elf Jerin is a very competent and speedy healer with insanely deep resources and magic reflection gimmicks, but her lacking offense is hardly going to faze Zero - and, more importantly, Mirror is useless against a good old fashioned show of strength. As soon as Zero enters his Absolute Zero Hyper Mode, his Calamitous Arts will do the talking and thrash Jerin like a defenseless Mettaur without its helmet. Now, to deal with the true dregs of Giga City.

Well now, the Heavy semifinals are a place Jerin never really expected to find herself, but since she's here, it's time to see if she can maybe push all the way into the final round. Sure, some might call her tactics boring, but nobody can argue that they get the job done. The insanely cheap full healing of Champion is exactly what the healer ordered when dealing with the likes of Zero. Thankfully, for all Zero's power, he can't even begin to keep up with the nimble healer in terms of speed, so she shouldn't have any problems slipping in her damage here and there when she doesn't need to heal herself up. It may take a while, but battles of attrition are what Jerin specializes in.

She knew she only had one shot at this.

One shot to make it to the finals and prove her worth.

One shot to redeem the name of Lufia's cast and bring honor to her name.

One shot to-

"Her bio-signals didn't indicate she was sleeping!" Zero protested. "Do not all of you slumber for eight hours, and only at night?"

"Firstly, she goes into a trance whenever she sleeps, like a proper elf. I don't quite know what you're referring to, there." Aguro replied evenly. "Secondly, she spent half her time worrying about burglars this past week and didn't rest at all! Marino blackmailed her! How dare you use such dishonorable tactics - making her so tired she slips into a trance RIGHT at the beginning of the fight!"

"I know not of what Marino does!" Zero protested further. "And I have never known an elf before - how is it expected for me to know that she does not sleep normally like humans do?"

"Hehehe..." Sten grinned, rustling through Jerin's drawers, "I never thought she'd leave and let me look through he-"

And then the Hero's sword descended, and Sten knew no more.

Zero: 23
Jerin: 9
