Season 24, Week 1
Connie
(Suikoden III)
 
Mocked, kicked, and generally looked down upon: such is the fate of the Budehuc dogs. It seems that forever shall they roam the halls of the DL with nary a win between the five of them. But wait, what's this? Perhaps, a light of hope? Indeed it is, for Connie has been paired up with someone possibly worse than a Suiko dog: Maria Belthasar, puny extraordinaire! The girl has bad magic, worse physicals and awful durability! With such amazingly bad stats, even a few bites and strawberries around the ankles will take down the frail mech jockey fast, and victory shall be Connie's!

Maria's always liked dogs. She really has nothing against them. She even gets a subscription to the DL's most popular canine magazine, "Happy Puppy Monthly". However, that isn't going to stop her from taking this match seriously - she does need a victory in her curriculum, after all. While frail, her defenses are more than adequate to defend against a few gnaws and nibbles. Being able to call down Seibzhen with her Controls also helps. He's always been a cat person, and robotic steps aren't usually kind to dogs.

It was an.. unusual arena. Only a handful of fighters and one very bored security guard stood watching. However, the arena was full with little girls, coming to watch one of their own and a cute puppy wage war.

Maria and Connie exchanged blows. Well, 'blows'. Light taps would be more accurate, as the two looked to be more playing than fighting. Sadly for Connie, the young puppy had just tripped over Maria's feet, knocking her out cold. With the sound of the bell marking the end of the fight, the crowd stretched and prepared to leave..

"Bwahahaha!" An evil sounding laughter penetrated the arena. A white haired man with wings quickly knocked out the secruity guard and pushed his way to the arena. The few fighters who stood in the arena were easily crushed by Albedo. Nothing stood his way.

"Oh yes. Lots of prime Ma Peche in the arena today. With everything sealed up.. there's going to be a lot of fun to be had!"

Relm's eyes wided in horror at the spectacle in front of her. All but one of the fighters who had been watching the bout were knocked out by Albedo, and the security guard was beyond help. Looking around in a panic, Relm saw only one man who was still in the arena and unhurt. He stood snoring louding around a sea of empty seats. It didn't take Relm long to notice the highland armor the man was wearing..

Luca stood drowsing in the middle of the arena. The promised little girl bloodsport had turned out to be a disapointment. "Someone will pay.." It hadn't taken the highland prince long to doze off. He didn't expect to be woken by a little girl with a brush, yelling at him.

"Hey, you! That man over there's a pervert! He's going to hurt us all!" Luca glared at the girl. "Talk fast, piglet. I don't care about that." The little girl puffed up, and got out her brush. "Do I have to paint it out for you what he said about you?"

Relm quickly sketched a scene where Albedo stood in the middle of the arena. He had just won a godlike title. "No one can stop me. I'm the best!" Relm put her brush away. "He thinks because he has a title, that he's better than you. Tougher. Stronger."

Luca needed no more encouragement. Getting up with a snarl, he grabbed his sword and ran for Albedo. "TIME TO DIE, PIG!"

It was a horrific slaughter, of course. The little girls cheered as Luca destroyed the pervert and stormed out of the arena, bound and determined to make someone pay for forcing him to endure this.

While stranger things have happened in the arena, Luca Blight ending up as a hero for every little girl in the duelling league certainly ranks up there on the weirdness chart.

Connie: 15
Maria Balthasar: 56
