Season 33, Week 1
Mariel
(Wild Arms: Alter Code F )
 
The flower girl blossoms in the DL proper, ready to stop evildoers and mad conquerors everywhere! And she will begin by proving her worth against a... DOG! Yes, a dog, a brutal creature such as she has never seen, armed with vile fangs! One as defenseless as a typical flower girl would certainly weep at her certain demise against this cruel mutt. But not Mariel! With her dazzling herbs of infinite healing and mighty mitten slaps, she will triumph over evil, keeping Light safe from those horrible mongrels! And then, she will move on to even bigger challenges, for she is the only hope to bring blooming gardens back to the Duelling League!

Ruff ruff! Yes, Koichi's absence in the DL arena fights has been long - and unacceptable! But now, fear not, for the coolest Suikodog (well, coolest after Kogoro and Connie, of course) barks his way into a stunning clash of titans! The gentle Elw Mariel has an unlimited supply of healing berries and fruits, but she's so physically inept that even a stiff breeze causes her big bruises. And, of course, a dog's fearsome bite is much more threatening than a stiff breeze, right? With clearly better endurance, stamina (and good looks) to show off, Koichi will show this cowardly little gardenkeeper the true power of dogs! Ruff ruff, indeed!

DOGZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS

A Puny dog with Puny stats with no skills, a Punier girl with Punier stats but the healing of the gods, a once in a lifetime chance to get an official DL win. With will, determination, and cuteness so high, this battle promised to be a once-ina-a-lifetime classic!

At least, that's what it looked like on the first six days. Thanks to the unimaginably low damage values of both duelists, the match was now looking to be a liability. After all, these things are supposed to be a weekly affair, and schedules are going to be pushed back if one of the arena is tied up for a week.

So, the powers-that-be decided to speed things up a bit and released a radiation cloud above the arena.

Seemed like a simple plan. Let radiation poisoning slowly kill off both duelists and announce the last person standing as winner. There shouldn't be any complications, right? Right?

"Umm... Are you all right?" Mariel asked Koichi...

...who was now frothing at his mouth, standing on his two feet, shedding his fur, and looking a bit scaly under the collar.

Oh, and was growing bigger and bigger with each passing second until he stood as tall as the Xenogears dimension's Babel Tower.

"Rar!" Koichi roared.

"Eek!" The crowd screamed.

"Raaar!" Koichi roared again, this time belching a blast of radioactive breath.

"Eeeek!" The crowd screamed again, shortly before getting vaporized.

In the audience seats, a woman wearing a blue dress, black cycling shorts, and whose name rhymed with 'Inoa, shrieked "Aiiiiiie! Dogzilla!" promptly before getting stepped on and crushed into a messy, bloody paste.

Koichi roared proudly into the skies as he stepped out of the arena and into the city proper. Cars, Chocobos, and Tanks that couldn't get out of the way were crushed mercilessly under his paws! Tall buildings like the Shinra tower were no match for his mighty strength! Elite police and military troops are sent to the site, unloading the best of the League's technological and thaumatological weaponry at the lumbering dog-lizard, but like Operation Mi'ihen, their efforts were futile as they were easily crushed! Both heroic and villainous Godlikes launched their entire arsenal at the monster to no avail! Zophar's Fate Storm was overwhelmed by Koichi's Atomic Breath! The combined force of Ghaleon and Belial's Chaos Shield and Distortion was no match to a good old stomping! The Kaiser Dragon and Anima were just slapped away! Unrankable superbosses were called in to help, but even they could do nothing to the beast!

The destruction Koichi wrought was both terrible and absolute. The entire League was helpless before his fury, and there was nothing that could stop him. Finally, the monster seemed to have grown bored with rampage, and he silently returned to the sea as all giant lizard are wont to do, paying little mind to the mayhem he had brought.

And in the quiet that came after that unimaginable nightmare, a tiny voice spoke...

"So... did I win? I mean, Koichi walked out of the ring..."

Mariel: 34
Koichi: 25

Mariel glitches the game and pulls off an accidental Hadouken on the defenseless puppy.

Let's all have a moment of silence.

A doggie won't leave his comrades (in this case, for the bonus match), right? Mariel wins by default.
