Season 49, Week 2
Alenia
(Suikoden 5)
 
The job of any honorable knight is to stop those who break the laws of their land, no matter what it takes… especially when said lawbreaker is also standing in the way of a win in the arena. And, lest you forget, Alenia is an honorable and powerful woman. Just ask Lord Gizel! Or Sephiroth! So, of course, there is no way she could lose to Kid. Her lords gave her the strength needed to blast away any foe, and her excellent defenses are exactly what you would expect from one of Falena's finest. Alenia might not be able to control the Twilight Rune or fate, but she can certainly deal with this little knife loving rat.

Kid's always been the sort of girl who could fend for herself, a girl who doesn’t need some man’s help! A quick grab here, a mad dash there and, of course, lots of fighting everywhere. It's the way of a skilled, and independent, thief! The fact that Alenia relies completely on Gizel to do anything makes her look even more pathetic to Kid than it does to everyone else who looks on the traitorous Falenan Knight. Do you know what a little disgust, mixed with crazy speed, a couple of Prism Daggers and a healthy dose of resistance to fire magic adds up to against Alenia? Another easy mark for Kid to deal with.

Kid chuckled as she had another drink on Alenia's dime, "You sure you don't want none o' this? We got some pretty good stuff in there."

The Queen's Knight turned her nose up at the offer, "I wish nothing to do with your filthy spoils. The loss of those insufferable fools is quite literally the only gain I desire from this."

Kid couldn't help but just bust out laughing at this, "Suit yerself. Spite's all fine and good, but won't put any gold in your pocket."

"I have a prestigious position as a Queen's Knight, as well as...well, significant funding from my patrons in the Godwin family. My pockets are quite well off enough."

"No such thing, sister." Kid drained the last of her drink and stood up, "Well, been great doin' business with ya, 'specially since you're lettin' me keep all the goods. I tell you what though, I feel like I need to pay you your share somehow anyway, so I've got an idea."

Alenia's interest was mildly perked, "Oh?"

Kid grinned, "Well, I don't like to beat up on my business partners, and I've got a couple other guys I owe a favor or two to anyway, so 'ow about this. I set up our match as a doubles match between you and your pal Zahak against a couple guys I know. Don't worry, they're both Lights too. I figure you and Zahak fight best as a team, right? Give you a chance to show that off. If you guys win, you move on. You guys lose, I move on. How about it?"

The Queen's Knight laughed, "Allowing me to fight with Zahak? Well, I'll take your offer, and offer my condolences on your first round loss now."

*The Light arena, day of the match*

"We did it! We shakin' DID IT!"

"That was our most fantastically fantastic performance ever!"

"That'll teach those shakin' knights to take us lightly!"

"Indeed, we have proven ourselves as most powerfully powerful warriors this day!"

Rei chuckled as he watched Solt and Peppor attempting a victory dance while Alenia and Zahak were out cold on the ground, "Well don't that just beat all? Suppose I'll call Kid and let her know she won..."
