Season 16, Week 2
Neclord
(Suikoden Series)
 
After fifteen long, lonely seasons, Neclord's eternal quest for a bride has brought him from his foreboding castle to the hallowed stage of the DL arena. Seeking to impress all of the ladies in the audience, he won't go easy on any of his opponents, even one as worthy of his hand as Momo. Calling upon the unmatched power of his precious Moon Rune, he will quickly overwhelm her with his devastating physical and powerful lightning attacks. At this rate, Neclord's wedding ceremony will double as a championship celebration.

After fighting her way to a Middle championship and earning an upgrade into Heavy, Momo is ready to test her mettle in this new division. After besting Middle with cunning strategies, she will battle Neclord with pure force. By using the undead-destroying Ghostbuster bazooka, Momo will double her already-impressive damage to the unfortunate vampire lord. Add in some Might spells to boost that damage even further, along with over a dozen uses of full healing, and Momo is certain to stomp Neclord into the dirt.

"So, he's using plot power?" Momo said.

"Yup." Said Rei, lounging against the back wall with a wide grin on his face.

"....Why do they do that, anyhow? It never works. Or works only because of dumb luck. And it's not even a flashy power, just a silly barrier...."

"Well, what are we going to do?" Rei said.

"Use plot power, of course." Momo said, smiling.

"....Wait, what? You don't have an....wait....you can't be serious...." Rei said, shaking his head.

"Well, why not? I've always wanted to do this...."

*The next day.*

Neclord, a broad smile pasted onto his gaunt face, walked into the duelling league arena.

"Hmmm. You're not even cute. If you had been, maybe I would have just taken you as one of my own."

"HEY! That's not very nice." Momo said, her ears standing stiffly. "Anyhow, what makes you think you're going to win?"

"Your lack of ability to deal any damage to me, naturally." Neclord said, chuckling.

"That doesn't stop a ring out, you know."

Momo pulled up her bazooka and aimed it at Neclord.

"Now, Rei!" She said, firing off a round.

Which passed harmlessly through Neclord, to hit the ground just behind him....

....and detonate into a massive atomic explosion, blasting Neclord far into the sky.

Rei, meanwhile, smiled and slapped Ray Bradoc on the back.

"Nice work keeping that blast from killing half the crowd....wait...Momo wasn't protected..." He said, glancing rapidly down at the arena.

"...oh, she's just covered in soot....huh, doesn't that beat all. I suppose she has more plot powers than just that bomb....now remind me not to talk to her until her ears stop ringing."
