Reno (Final Fantasy VII) |
|||
There aren't many people who can claim that going from Nina Wyndia to Scias is actually an easier fight, but Reno can. Having overcome the status protection that Nina relied on, Reno has to be confident that Pyramid will work like a charm on her mercenary ally. Even with Scias' heavy damage, it's unlikely that the Turk will fall in one strike... and Scias isn't getting a second chance. |

Scias' strategy is simple this fight: deliver the Shining Blades and watch as the frail Turk topples. A Light Bangle will help resist a dreaded Pyramid, and Scias' full healing takes care of everything else. And if push comes to shove, Scias can drop the healing in lieu of Rakshasha to boost his damage to phenomenal levels. If he can avoid that deadly status, Scias will be sure to show Reno the true power of a Grassrunner ronin. |
Murphix Scias had been training very hard for this match-very hard indeed. He had spent days at his favorite spot, honing his skills until he knew he was a master. He was ready to show the fruits of his labors. That's right; several tons of fish. He traded in his enourmous catch to the local Manillo, who happily gave him the mighty Render sword. He also took up an spprenticship with Kryrik, knowing that his Finale will ability could be very handy indeed. Finally, a Light Bangle completed his strategic plan, and he set forth to the arena, knowing that he might need to use all his skill for this match. Meanwhile, Reno had been trying to mack it up with Nina III. "No hard feelings, right babe?" Scias did a little homework, and after watching Reno's previous battle with Nina, he decided to take a page from the Turk's book. The day of the match arrived. Reno strutted out into the arena, and Scias did his usual glide. "Ready to lose, shaggy?" "B-b-bring it." Immediately, Scias performed his Ice Blast spell which, in a brilliant stroke of irony, imprisons Reno within it. But Scias knew he could not maintain the ice for long. With the mighty Render sword adding an extra attack to his arsenal, Shining Blade becomes extra nasty. Ice Blast is called off after this attack, as it is quite a strain on AP to continue a spell for that long. Reno, now on his knees and near blacking out, sees his one opportunity to strike. Scias too is a bit winded from the mental strain of such powerful abilities, and is still in a crouching position next to him. He readies the Turk Taser, and as he reaches for the Ronin's body, Scias remembers his master's teachings and deals the Finale blow, effectively ending the match. Reno: 17 |
