Season 43, Week 2
Ultros
(Final Fantasy VI)
 
Two-time champion and former godlike competitor Ultros returns to the arena and his first opponent is a pathetic no-victory chump on a glorified flying newt. Pathetic. Folks often forget that Ultros is huge, even for a giant octopus, and more than capable of launching his mighty tentacles high enough into the air to catch even an airborne Valter. This point may be irrelevant, as firstly, Valter spends most of his fighting on the ground, and secondly, he will likely be spending most of the match as an imp. The real question, is what happens when you turn a mounted fighter into an imp? Does he become an imp on a wyvern? A man riding an imp? Or does he become an imp riding a second imp?

Okay, so maybe Valter's last attempt to seize power and glory didn't go so well. That's what the Dueling League is for! The first one to be cruelly hunted from the air is... a lowly receptionist of the coliseum?! This can't be right. At least Seth and Eirika were worthy prey; this one's nothing more than scum meant to be swept out by the common rabble. With Valter's trusty Killer Lance in hand, Ultros's rather fragile frame will simply explode. And if Ultros tries any statusy tricks, Valter and his ride aren't too bad at evading incoming magics to continue the fight. With his fine defense and pointed counters, Valter will soon be serving up some octopus shishkabob on his spear to his trusted wyvern.

"You asked me what I thought of war. This is my answer! I believe in me. I believe in the power of my sword. I am a warrior! I fight for all that is due to me as a warrior. The acclaim. The honor! I have no time for doubts and second guessing. Wavering cowards like yourself mean nothing to me! Yes, you stand there and tremble like a child. That's all you're good for!"


The words of the (dis)honorable Cross Ward rang true to Valter. He happened to have stumbled across that speech when looking for ways to beat tenacle slinging octopus of a foe and knew the person who spoke it was a winner. Valter instantly contacted Cross at the NR league and hired him to help him train for his fight. Valter's impressive lancework got even stronger, his body tougher. Anyone who went after him with a physical attack would be shredded. Even the so called 'almighty' Kefka would be reduced to rags by Valter's unholy strength.

For all of Cross and Valter's physical prowess, one tiny thing was forgotten- Cross was sho killed after that, wiped out by in a brutal sneak attack by someone who could actually use his brain. Cross, for all of his plotting.. is not bright. Nor is Valter, as proven by his obsession with Erikia. Ultros's Imp magic handled both the Radiata Knight and Wyvern Rider, leaving them cute, defenseless creatures.

Who were then sold to La'Rachel to be her personal pets/slaves, an act so cruel it actually got Ultros the 'jerk of the week' award, which says something in a week where Rune, Luca Blight, Duran, AND Big Joe were fighting.
