Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy V) |
|||
The fastest cue-card holder in the world a mission this season: with his former master (no, not Chisato!) making a stir in Godlike, Gilgamesh has to pick up the pace to keep up! Fortunately, this shouldn't be a problem with the opponent he's facing. Kika may be one of the greatest swashbucklers in the multi-verse, but Gilgamesh still holds the record for fastest escape from Chisato's impending wrath, giving him the ability to run circles around the slower pirate queen. With a terrifying array of skills at his disposal, Gilgamesh should have no problem taking down his foe: after all, how will Kika react when Gilgamesh has turned her into an ugly old, tiny, blind, sleeping frog? |

After felling the legendary Esper Rune, Kika should be sufficiently warmed up to face infamous warrior and part-time television cohost Gilgamesh! While the interdimensional traveller would certainly love to add Kika's twin blades to his ever-growing collection, the pirate mistress will have none of that. Fleet-footed Kika is more than capable of keeping pace with the quick-drawing swordsman, and considering Gilgamesh's tendency to execute the better part of valor and flee in dire peril, a few well-placed applications of the Falcon Rune should be plenty to advance Kika to the winner's circle. It will be a battle to remember, and right now history is smiling upon the pirate queen. |
CmdrKing The match itself was pretty simple, Kika just had no real way to fight off all that status, and all those arms leave Gilgamesh pretty capable of blocking while he's firing off spells. But stealing her sword after rendering her an aged, miniature frog? That was just disgraceful. Gilgamesh would pay. It was really a simple job. Let a certain True Rune bearer know that Gilgamesh's boss was a certain giant evil tree, agree to go hunting for that tree later on, and wait for the right moment. It came just a day later, waiting off the seaside entrance to the arena. Apparently Gilgamesh was a bit paranoid about losing weapons, so he usually inspected anyplace he fought after the fact to make sure he didn't drop Excalibur (again). The main pathway between the arena and points elsewhere is, to put it mildly, a big bridge. Really big. It's really more of a highway system unto itself, but in any case it's a huge man-made structure (man, dwarf-controlled Gear, whatever) constructed over a body of water to allow easy passage. And Gilgamesh was on it. Kika smiled tightly. "Sigurd, Hervey, fire volleys on either side of the target to keep it within the firing arc of the main cannon. Ted! Fire when ready!" It was really a spectacular light show, from far off, the agile Gilgamesh dodging red and blue magical cannons with a desperation that couldn't help but be funny. Then a new ammunition appeared. A life-suckingly black cannon shell that screamed of intense magical power. A Soul Eater-powered Rune Cannon. Gilgamesh didn't really stand a chance. At the best of times he'd have fled if faced down with the Soul Eater's might, and the best of times had considerably less magical cannon involved. Gilgamesh, and most of the bridge he happened to be standing on, and more than a few passing Lights, soundly smote, Kika set sail, first to fulfill her part of the bargain, and then to pay off the rather considerable damages she'd just incurred. The multi-armed henchman did learn one thing from this encounter. If he had to cross a giant bridge to get somewhere, he would just fly instead. Or at the very least not play The Black Mages on his headphone while he was doing it. Gilgamesh: 58 |
