Season 26, Week 2
Kika
(Suikoden IV)
 
Lady Kika may be a roughneck pirate, an excellent leader, and the dominator of the inferior male pirates, but is she a woman with needs. After watching her love die and going through hell over the Rune of Punishment, she joined LAzlo and King Lino on a quest, then again went out on an adventure, a couple of years later, with Kyril and company. She is a battle-tested warrior, experienced and precise. Her Falcon Rune is among the most powerful Runes in the Suikoden world, and she wields it better than any of her predecessors. Who is the first victim of her wrath? Phantasy Star IV’s resident smartass magician, Rune Walsh! While Rune might prepare traps and other such tricks for Kika, she does not have to resort to such tactics. She's a physical fighter taking on a frail mage, and she means to take advantage of that fact. One blast of the Falcon Rune will render the smarmy little spellcaster unconscious.

The fifth incarnation of Lutz makes his return to the arena this week, intent on ending an embarassing two-match losing streak, not to mention showing up a few idiots. After all, it's been shown time again that idiots are perhaps the one thing Rune Walsh can not stand. He is, however, a practical Esper, and his most potent unique skills tend to involve shutting up annoying foes permanently. Whether it's silencing them in the traditional fashion with Seals, or just suffocating them with his instant death-dealing Diem and Negatis, you can bet that his ability to eliminate useless chatter is potent, enduring, accurate and often fatal. His first foe this season has no defence against any of these attacks, so all Rune needs to do is equip his strongest shields, show up, and claim the victory he deserves, opening up a path to the quarterfinals...and more importantly, giving him one more Heavy win than his rival.

Rune looked on with a certain smug self satification. It had taken a lot of work to manage to find a way to tie up Feena for the entire day. Once that was done..

"Mmpph!" Justin stood tied in Rune's room, gagged and bound to a chair.

"You aren't interfering with my match this time, idiot. Stay out of my way while I acsend and claim a much overdue win."

Rune smirked at Kika. His plan had worked brilliantly. Feena was still away, Justin was still secured. Strange, though. Instead of her usual flunkies, a small, blonde haired woman stood in her corner. The blonde walked out of Kika's corner, and smiled a in seductive manner at Rune.

"Hey, cutie. I've got one thing to say to you.. " *THUNK*

Lilly the Skull lifted her trademark frying pan off of Rune's now dented cranium, and grinned evilly. "That's what you get for tying up my son like that.. you... you.. PERVERT!" Lilly angrily shoved photos in Rune's face.

Due to some suggestive camera work and lighting, it looked like Rune's tying up of Justin was going to lead to something.. more. A dazed Rune looked at the picture, and saw a few lines of text below it.

"I figured you'd try to do something to my poor husband. So I took a few photos, and showed them to Lilly.. who just happens to be an old seamate of Kika's. Naturally, Kika was more than willing to spread these around the DL if you don't agree to forefit the match." -Feena

The Esper left the arena without saying another word.

Rune sat in the infirmary, nursing a cracked skull. Some things just weren't worth fighting over. "..Feena will pay, though! And Lilly! And Kika! Just as soon as my head stops hurting and I can find those damn negatives.."

Kika: 49
Rune Walsh: 31
