Season 37, Week 1
Josh Kain
(Phantasy Star 2)
 
Hey hey, it's been a while since his last match, but seeing his pal Rudo tear up Light last season has given Josh Kain just the motivation he needs to get back in there and start busting some heads! Sure, the famed Wrecker might have a sketchy record behind him, but every dog has its day! And this one is his, no doubt about it. While his first opponent, the laughable Roog, may not be a machine, dragon, undead, or anything else he can take apart with his trademark Nagaj spell, Josh still has this match in the bag. Really, Roog is a complete and total wuss who can't hit hard enough to scare a squirrel, much less a man who makes his living by taking apart killer robots. Against this guy, Josh can just leave his shield behind and bring in a pair of Laconian Maces to make the beating go faster.

Like Alen, Miklotov, Borus and Hervey before him, the dragon knight Roog steps into the arena to uphold the honor of the Chimou star in single combat. And, while Roog may well be the weakest of the Chimou star knights to set forth in the land of Suikoden so far, he's still more than a match for some failure of a mechanic - even without his trusty companion Lance to back him up. Sure, the Wrecker can bring in a pair of maces to pound on Roog with, but that's nothing compared to getting tossed around by a dragon horse or enduring the swift currents of the deadly Falenas river - and what does Kain have to back his build up? That's what I thought. With his own pair of swords in hand, Roog will make swift work of a nerd like Josh Kain. Really, guys like him need to just stay in the workshop instead of tangling with elite warriors like Roog.

"Damn it, this hunk of junk is barely working!? What kind of third rate spac... right, Chrono Cross. Should have known the universe that bred Dario wouldn't even do spaceships right." Edge barely managed to land the ship outside of an empty arena, where a bored judge was napping while two horrendous lights stood staring down each other. Edge peeked in the arena in the hopes that someone, anyone, would be able to help him.

One glance at a snoring Crono discounted the notion of a helpful judge. Roog.. Edge smirked. Roog was so useless that he made Zidane look like a talented fighter and smart person. That was out. Of interest to Edge was the third man in the arena. He stood dressed in futuristic clothes and had a set of fancy looking tools near his corner of the arena.

"Josh Kain. Mechanic, advanced techology field. Horrible fighter but perfect for what I need. Great luck for me. For once!" Edge quickly hopped into the arena and slit Roog's throat with a casual swipe of his katana. Pathetically easy. The mechanic just shrugged at that, and noticed how Crono didn't even stir.

"Well.. thanks for the free win, I guess? Crono won't care enough to check out Roog got killed. No one will, come to think of it..."

"No problem. I just need a quick favor. I'm guessing from the Phantasy star label and your reputation as a wrecker, that you know your way around a spaceship. I 'borrowed' a ship from a 'friend' and it's a bit of a clunker. Any way you could fix it for me? It's for a good cause."

"What, getting you laid?" In spite of the snarky comments, Josh had already woken up Crono and gotten him to award him the match in between naps.

"Yes. It also involves beating the hell out of one of Ghaleon's minions. Everyone should be willing to help with that."

"Sure, why not. This sounds like fun, and I owe you for making my fight with Roog a little quicker. One question, though: How does a Ninja know how to fully operate a freakin spaceship?"

"Ninja training. I took the Big Whale for a joy ride once or twice. Man, was Cecil mad..ahem. Anyway. Let's get this bad boy in working order. I don't have much time."
