Season 44, Week 2
Alis Landale
(Phantasy Star)
 
Phantasy Star's matriarch battled the evil of Lassic thousands of years before Hahn was ever born. Before Hahn Mahlay's ancestors ever met, there was Alis Landale, battling Dark Force to the bitter end. Before Algol's famous tower had even given its name to Hahn's family, there was Nero's sister, climbing Baha Marley's twisting, confusing paths. Before Nafoi, there was FIRE. It's going to do a good job in turning Hahn to cinder. Before Vol, there was ROPE, holding enemies in place while Alis cut them down. Before a young man took advantage of what others before him built, there was Alis Landale, hero and saviour of the universe, battling tougher foes - and winning - with less help and fewer allies than Hahn could ever dream of. She's not going to lose to this pretender.

The coming of Season 44 marks Hahn's debut in Heavy and unfortunately for Hahn, his Middle title celebration did not include a wedding (he'll get to it eventually!). However, the perpetually engaged student will be taking his frustration with him to the arena, which is certainly a red flag for bloodshed! Welcoming him to the division is a long lost ancestor, the heroine of the Algol star system, Alis Landale. She certainly hits hard enough, but Hahn has seen Elsydeon up close long enough to know how to deal with it. The fact that it's an older (or newer?) version makes no difference. Hahn's got his usual bag of tricks, and Alis is just the type of person they're effective on. He wasn't made Middle Champ for nothing, so expect Hahn to make waves this season.

The Profound Darkness was depressed.

Not that fun kind of depressed where it gets to cut it's self, the kind where it can really creep people out by playing Linkin Park.

No, it was actually depressed, not just faking it to screw with people's heads.

Losing a bet to Chaos, of all....things? On the evil of...that...detestable "white magic"? It was a travesty! The Profound Darkness hadn't misunderstood the evil potential of anything so badly since she'd decided Harry Potter couldn't possibly get popular enough to bother with mentally influencing it's author into more mentally shattering writing.

No, she needed something to perk her up.

And then she found it.

---

"Take that, minion of evil! Pretty Soldier Hahn Mahlay never loses to any evildoer!" Hahn shrieked wildly, flailing her baton at Alis.

Alis, now sporting 10 year old girl features, a long, flowing majestic beard, cat ears and a chainmail bikini, easily parried Hahn's blow, roared mightily, and counterattacked with a battleaxe.

The crowd simply sang along about how life was a cabaret.

And the Profound Darkness smiled.

She didn't know how the hell she'd ever survived before she found this place. Normal people didn't stay sane enough to heed her commands after she'd influenced them.

Ultimately, after a long, protracted makeout session which the judges(Luca Blight, Kefka and Ghaleon) gave 10/10, Hahn was declared the winner.

Now let us never speak of this ever again.

Oh, but there is one last thing to note.

Profound Darkness, after having her fun, recognized that true evil is really obtained by learning from one's mistakes.

And so, she jobchanged to Cleric.

Only 137,897,421 fights to go before gaining a job level.

Not very suited to it, but she has all the time in the universe. She'll get this down eventually.

Alis Landale: 20
Hahn Mahlay: 23
