Season 24, Week 3
Peppita Rosetti
(Star Ocean: Till the End of Time )
 
Living out the perfect dream of any Barnum fan, Peppita brings circus joy to Light in a thrilling fashion! With a win for tight-rope walkers everywhere, Peppita is ready for a great spectacle against the shapeshifting Karn. But his speed and dagger can't compete with Peppita's circus-honed acrobatic skills. With her special rejuvenating Healing Dance, Karn's weak strikes might as well have never existed, and with her faerie friends, a quick and flashy victory is within reach. The colours of Peppita's life will surely be bright-red once she's done with this thief.

As the last surviving member of the Shapeshifter clan, Karn has quite a reputation to uphold. After defeating the servant Gremio, he can't possibly lose to a little teen idol in the making like Peppita... otherwise, he will have to hang himself in shame. After gaining the title of "The World's Greatest Thief", such a stain in his name would be unacceptable. So, what will he do? The usual: throw daggers at opponent, get more turns than he/she/it does and go for the kill! Of course, against Peppita's faerie friends, this may be riskier... but for his own sake and glory, Karn has to take this gamble.

The Duelling League has seen many insane events, ranging from magical girl Godlike transformations to Ultros becoming a respected member of the journalism community.

(Okay, possibly not that respected.)

However, this one takes the cake.

Quite literally.

Peppita and Karn battling it out in a pie-eating contest.

How did this come to happen?

Well, Peppita was hungry when they were talking that match over, and she's a young girl. Meanwhile, Karn saw an opportunity. After all, he's twice as big as Peppita.

Oddly, Peppita won this match much the same way she wins everything else.

A giant fuzzy thing lept out of the ground and ate the competition.

Granted, in this case, it's in a more literal sense than normal-Peppita's Fairy Friend promptly ate the entire table. So the entire competition was eaten, not the competitor.

Karn, of course, tried to get Peppita thrown out for interference, but most judges agree by now that summons are legal.

However, ironically, the competition wasn't technically over. The exact phrasing was exceptionally unfortunate for this contest: The person that could remove, using their own powers, the most food from the Arena, won. And that you didn't lose until you admitted defeat or were incapacitated.

So, while the fuzzy giant munched tables, Karn started throwing pies at the audience in a desperate attempt to keep up. After all, that counts as removing pies from the arena with your own power, right?

And that's how Karn ended up starting the greatest pie fight in history.

Approximately 72000 pies were consumed(In the sense that they were inedable afterwards, at least.), the battle overflowed out of the arena and into nearby hallways and corridors, splashed over into other baked goods(The most painful case involving a fruitcake, Albedo, several small girls, and a lot of hospital bills. Needless to say, the little girls easily proved that it was self defense. Albedo was trying to lick pie off them.), and several bakeries were looted.

Then the mob got into the fruit.

All told, there were a few dozen deaths, 452 injuries, half a billion Gil lost by various buisinesses, and it took seventeen hours to dig Karn out of the pile of baked goods.

Peppita never got a scrap of food on her.

However, her big friend had a stomach ache for nearly a week, and no one underestimates Peppita anymore...
