Season 26, Week 2
Crono
(Chrono Trigger)
 
The original silent Hero of Time returns to the arena with sword and spell at the ready, prepared to carve a path through the Heavy field. The first one to fall before him is a cat-man named Rei, a heavy hitter who's almost as fast as him, if not outright faster. But as strong as the were-cat is, he has a major flaw: he needs to waste one turn transforming before he can start dishing out the damage. Meanwhile, Crono's already going to be flinging Luminaire after Luminaire at the kitty, reducing his bulky frame to mere cinders. With fights like these, it won't be long before the Silent Death roams the halls of Godlike once again.

The cat attack is back! In what is shaping to be more of a race than a fight, Rei of the Woren is taking on Crono this week in Heavy's headlining matchup. Thankfully, Rei won't have to worry about random drug screenings, as his speed is all natural. Of course, maybe a few "supplements" would help him keep control when he enters Werecat form, since while his strength is greatly multiplied, he tends to lose control. but that doesn't matter here. Between his transformed strength and his Death magic in Woren form, Rei should be able to tear through Crono like he was a time-shifted clone and be on his way to Heavy Champion glory.

The match... wasn't quite what everyone had expected:

"..." said Crono, staring at Rei.

"Well don't that just beat all..." puzzled Rei, wondering what Crono's reason for holding back was.

"..."

"Well don't that just beat all..."

"..."

"Well don't that just beat all..."

"..."

"Well don't that just beat all..."

"There's no getting offa this train we're on!"

"...?" Crono sweatdropped as Barret entered the arena, attracted by the inane banter.

Rei looked over at the AVALANCHE member. "Well don't that just beat all..."

"We've gotta do it for the planet!" nodded Barret.

The judges were unsure. They wanted to call interference, but Barret hadn't actually taken anyone's *side.* At least, they didn't *think* so, but with this level of conversation, who could tell?

"..."

"Well don't that beat all..."

"There's no getting offa this train we're on!"

"..."

"For the glory of trapezoids! My penumbra speaks up in the name of science!" Yes, Liz had entered the arena as well.

"..."

"Well, don't that beat all?"

"But what about Marlene!?!" soulfully wailed Barret.

"Pika pika! Pikachu!"

"It's a-me! Mah-rio!

"Science shall prevail! Bulkogiden is the parfait of 'love!'"

"COR BLIMEY! Will somebody *please* stop this stupid conversation?!? At least *I* know when a catch phrase is gettin' old, ya know?

"Will somebody please think of the children?!?" piped in Daravon, whose relative lucidity proved once an for all that the time-space continuum has a set limit as to the sheer amount of inanity allowed in a given volume of space.

Barret tapped Yangus on the shoulder, shaking his head. "There ain't no gettin' off of this train we're on," he said with finality.

"Pika pi!" chimed in Pikachu.

At about this point, Squall finished junctioning the last of his spells, and fired Eden into the arena, propelling the entire mass of gathered characters into a nearby galaxy and creating a black hole that warped the very laws of nature themselves and crushed Crono and Rei together into a single entity: Cray!

Of course, the damage that resulted from Cray plummeting to earth at the end of the summon killed the new Woren, (as well as all of the other characters in the arena at the time) so the judges flipped a coin to see who won.

Squall was unanimously cheered by everyone watching the spectacle. Even Luca Blight was moved to buy Squall a beer (Well, technically, kill a beer vendor and take a beer, but who's quibbling?) for, as he put it, "Stopping the pigs from squealing."

"..." replied Squall. "Whatever."

Crono: 59
Rei: 62
