Season 56, Week 1
Vayne Aurelius
(Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis)
 
Vayne's opponent could actually teach him a thing or two. Positive thinking is honestly just what the milquetoast Vayne needs to really turn his life around. Of course, this isn't a life coaching session, this is a match in the DL Arena! Here, Vayne knows exactly what he's doing much to the chagrin of any opponent he faces down here. Chaos Devotion will show Maya and whatever demons she may be pulling around in her head who is boss. If he really needs to speed blitz to bring her down for the count, Over Realm will really let him overtake whatever healing Maya might have unless she keeps herself in tip-top shape. He'll have to play smart with his resources against the reporter, but Vayne's got the power and the durability to pull this off. And a cat. You can NEVER underestimate the power of a cat.

Let's positive thinking, DL! Maya Amano, cheerful reporter, takes a break from her stressful job to take to the arena once again. Her mission statement? To challenge herself against Heavy's finest and emerge triumphant, and to chew bubble gum. However, it seems like they're out of Heavy's finest... Maya's fought alongside school students, and frankly? Not even Tatsuya got as emo as this kid. Sheesh. Sure, he's got some damage, but Maihime's Dance of Protection will make that damage but a trifle - and, frankly, while Overrealm's cool, it along with a rush of damage can't break through Dance of Protection enough to make Maya concerned. Once Vayne's out of MP, Maya will just swoop in and finish the job. Guess she'll have to make do with chewing bubble gum and admiring the cute little kitty.

"POSITIVE THINKING POSITIVE THINKING POSITIVE THINKING ohgod I'm gonna die gonna die gonna die gonna die" Vayne whimpered, running from the arena, being chased by Maya.

Riding Groudon. And laughing madly as she shot at Vayne's fleeing form, wooping from on top of the legendary monster. "Yeeee-haw! That's right, little boy - run while you still can! Maya's gonna get you!" With that Groudon flew over the arena walls in pursuit, as Maya yelled out into the crisp morning air, "LET'S POSITIVE THINKING, EVERYONE~~~..."

Angela, stunned, slowly turned to Magus. "How was that lega- under what rules could that have been le- how did that - what-"

Magus shrugged slightly. "She successfully got the League to agree that she needed some sort of compensation to fairly compete against Vayne, since he was fighting with his cat - clearly support. She was going to enlist Kyogre, but apparently she went with Groudon instead as Kyogre's in this season."

"BUT GROUDON AND A CAT AREN'T-"

"She also successfully argued that she could win anyway, and that she just wanted to 'motivate' Vayne." Magus shrugged. "Really, do you care enough to pursue this?"

"...no." Angela grunted, slumping in her chair. "I just wanted to see an actual fight."
