Season 13, Week 4
Zalbag Beoulve
(Final Fantasy Tactics)
 
Ivalice's might is on full display this season, with Zalbag having already crushed Glenn and Hojo with little effort. Garland, however, is far more of a threat to one of the finest Holy Knights in the land. Still, Zalbag has much less cause for concern than Garland's previous foes: with a Jade Armlet equipped, he is completely immune to Garland's foul status trickery. Zalbag must still strike quickly with his Ruin skills, however, should he wish to be the victor; a few uses of Mind or Power Ruin, and Garland's offense will barely be able to dent his foe, allowing Zalbag's powerful attacks and counters to put an end to his opponent's season.

Garland has looked impressive in his two wins this season. Auron and Fuse, both respected heavies, were blasted out of his way, and Zalbag doesn't look to pose much more of a challenge. Although the Arc Knight can guard against Stop, Garland still has his much higher speed and HP than his foe, giving him an immediate advantage. By the time Zalbag can even the scales with his Speed Ruin or other stat breaks, it will be too late, as the Terran's powerful attacks will have by then taken their toll on the merely human Arc Knight, giving the man who created a Godlike his third win and a pass to the finals.

Zalbag eyed the cop who had reported to him with mild interest. "Are you sure this information is correct? If so, my win is assured."

The officer nodded, and handed some papers over to Zalbag. With a shrug, he walked out, leaving the Arc Knight with a plan of action.

-Ring-

Garland stood floating in the ring. All reports called this Zalbag another weak fighter. Nothing for him to fear..

Zalbag walked into the ring, and waved around a fistful of papers.. .copies of which were floating around amoung the viewers. "I, Zalbag Beoluve, have uncovered the truth about Garland. This man was responsble for a number of horrors in his day..!"

The crowd yawned at this. This was the usual fare for a DL villian.

.."The worst of which was creating Zidane Tribal!"

The crowd stood stunned, and slowly buzzed. The tone was that of rage and hate... and Garland was the main target of this.

"Doth, but I cannot forgive one for such a crime. Prepare yourself!"
"..This PIG created Zidane? DIE!"
"Ma Peche should not live in the same world as such trash!"

The crowd of fighters closed in on the unfortunate Garland. It became quickly obvious that Garland would be unable to compete, and Zalbag was handed the match.

Fuse laughed to himself as he watched the slaughter, feeling that his one loss was well avenged.

Zalbag Beoulve: 24
Garland: 20
