Hugo (Suikoden III) |
|||
His victories over Ayla and Id proved his mettle against bestial fighters, but this week the Flame Champion of Karaya faces a set of new challenges in the orderly and composed General Beatrix. To overcome the Alexandrian's White Magic, Hugo will need more than his usual mix of blistering speed and raw power. He still holds a good advantage in those areas, mind you, and (punctuated by judicious use of Wind of Sleep) they will see him through to the finals. Victory is within Hugo's grasp; all the boy from Karaya must do is to stay as cool and composed as his opponent. |

A steadfast knight with a blade that marks her loyality, Beatrix of Alexandria is once again crushing a fearsome Heavy field underneath her boot. If even Lassic's otherworldly powers proved nothing before a Knight's oath and pride, what hope will a simple Grasslander savage have before her and her sworn mission? Both Shock and Holy bypass Hugo's impressive evasion, and Reflect renders his dangerous runes moot. With a follow-up silence spell to end Hugo's ability to heal, Beatrix can just fall back on her own healing and pick apart one of Heavy's most dangerous fighters at her lesiure. |
Hunter Sopko Beatrix sighed as she sat in the medical ward before the match, her eye swelled shut. Bowman checked her chart and looked to her. "I'm sorry, Bea. There is nothing I can do. It's definately pink eye. I can give you some cream, but it won't heal before the match." After this whole season, Beatrix didn't know whether to cry or torch the place. Regardless of her status though, she knew she would fight. --- "I'm telling you. It will verily give you the advantage during the match!" Hugo stared incredulously at Steiner. "Why would you give me this? Don't you and Beatrix have... you know... a thing?" "T'was once true, but a lover spurned is a dangerous thing! I guarantee you, she will not be able to lay a finger upon you with this armor!" Hugo looked between the man in front of him, and the replica suit of armor he had provided. He had indeed come to trust the nature of people, so he simply nodded his head, adding "Alright. I'll use it. At the very least it will improve relations with the ironheads..." "Excellent." --- Beatrix's condition had only worsened by the time the match rolled around, but she was not backing down! Not after coming this far. The match was called to begin, and yet, she was nervous as to how she would fight an opponent she could not see... Suddenly, she heard a distinctive metal clanking in the arena. Knowing that Steiner would never intrude, it could only be one thing. She locked on the sound and with a vicious battlecry... "SHOCK!" That metal armor makes an excellent lightning rod as well... Hugo: 27 |
