Season 33, Week 4
Lady Harken
(Wild Arms) 		 
After defeating one of her own comrades, a mighty Metal Demon, Harken prepares for her next epic battle, against...a dog? Well, that's not exactly what she expected, and generally speaking not something to fear - after all, in the arena "dog" is often synonymous with "wimpy." But this is the exception to the rule - a demon-possessed beast, not one of the canine Stars of Destiny - and Harken will be careful. But exception or not, she can rely on her usual tactics: overwhelm the foe with high speed and damage, and if she gets hurt enough in the process, retaliate with Maximum Risk. There's no doubt that this is one dog that Harken will not be throwing a bone to...or a match, for that matter.

 Demons, mortals who style themselves as same, and now more demons! Sir Leopold's foes have been rather one-dimensional this season, but that's just the way he likes it! After all, in a competition of brute strength and vitality, few can match the RPGDL's most powerful canine. Lady Harken is a cut above Leo's previous opponents, true - but the knighted doglike isn't going to have time to appreciate that. Why, you ask? Because against this fire-aligned female demon, the power of his already-impressive blizzard breath will be tripled, turning her into a popsicle in record time! Sir Leopold has always been called a bone-chilling villain, but the Red Quarter Knight will be the first to make those comments literal!

It was a classic stand-off. Harken kept a loose grip on her scythe, ready to dodge and strike like lightning the moment her canine foe launched an attack, but Leopold was also waiting for the Quarter Knight to make the first move, knowing that she was fast enough to evade his attack if he struck first, but confident that he could make her move right into a cloud of icy breath if she moved first.

For nearly five minutes they stared eachother down, both patient and canny warriors, neither giving so much as a hint of an opening to the other…until Leopold got a bit distracted by seeing Guv, Yangus, Jess and Trode making faces at him from the stands out of the corner of his eye. Out of frustration, the demonic pooch growled at his foes, making a mental note to hunt them down and kill them one by one after he was done with this fight.

Suddenly remembering his opponent, Sir Leopold whipped his head back to where Lady Harken was…supposed to be standing. Only she wasn’t there. Quickly leaping into the air to avoid the attack he knew must be incoming, Leopold cursed the meddlers once again for distracting him as he caught a glimpse of a red blur…and then nothing.

“Pathetic mutt, I would think one such as you would know better then to take your eyes off your enemy.” Lady Harken strode away from the neatly bisected carcass of Sir Leopold, and on to the Heavy Finals.

Lady Harken: 33
Sir Leopold: 30

Have any of you seen the movie Balto? You know, the one about a half wolf/half dog braving a snow storm to save little children?

This match is a little similar as a freak blizzard had occured shortly after the match began. Harken, along with some other duellers, were frozen not long after the glacial weather hit. In the end, thanks to efforts from the Suikodogs, Sir Leopold and other doglike characters, many managed to find shelter and a place they could warm up to.

Okay, so Balto couldn't spew up deadly ice magic, and Leopold wasn't a half wolf and the little children didn't carry around deadly scythes. But Sir Leopold still wins.
