Lepant (Suikoden) |
|||
His wife Eileen has already been in the DL twice, as has his son Sheena, but Lepant has never gotten the chance to show off his stuff in the Arena. But, never fear, The badass President of the Toran Republic is finally getting his turn! He is up against a great opponent in the former Light champion Gijimu. But Lepant does not fear a petty mountain bandit, for he is among the strongest of Suikoden's long line of brutes and fighters. Justice shall prevail over debauchery and thievery, and Lepant will bring the pain down! |

Lampdragon's fortunes have been good lately, with Lo Wen smashing her way through a tough Middle quarter. Gijimu himself is no slouch, though. Bringing home a Light title was most impressive, even if he promptly downgraded to Light in his first appearence after that win. Revenge is certainly a sweet enough reason for Gijimu to return to combat and take his rightful place in middle with his sister - and of course, there's nothing wrong with getting the chance to smash a so called 'leader' in the face with an axe! |
Grefter Things were not looking so great for Lepant. Standing in the middle of the arena, blocking the frantic blows from Gijimu with his shield taking what chances he could to strike back, those being few and far between from Gijimu's seemingly unending onslaught. He could feel his shield arm weakening, becoming numb from the repeated strain. All he had to do was land one good blow and end it. It would be risky. Readying himself, he can see the next blow coming from the left, an easy block, now step forward and slash in the same motion. Feel the wet thud as the blade connects biting deep, doing a damage ripping and tearing into the flesh with its harshly curved edge. It was a good blow, Gijimu would need to get that looked at quickly before the match. Sadly it was not enough. No chance to stop the next blow, Lepant could see it coming, as could the small crowed at the match. From above and to the right. No time to retrieve the sword for some kind of feebly parry, no space to maneuver and get his shield into place. All Lepant could do was watch his demise drop and meet his flesh. As the axe bites deep and Lepant loses consciousness Gijimu is declared the victor Lepant can feel only remorse, not for his loss, but for the fact that with his wife's loss as well they would be relying on Sheena to look after them. This was enough to make the President of an entire nation, a grown man and a proud warrior weep openly. Lepant: 23 SageAcrin
