Pah. Look at the big, bad army man fighting on his high horse. If Leon had designed it, Tony sure as hell wouldn't be in Light. It'd be a thirty foot tall contraption with at LEAST ten times the firepower, and it would breathe fire. And be able to break any sort of defenses with a huge, Symbology-powered cannon. Fortunately for Leon, though, it's just a cheap piece of junk assembled by junkies and alcoholics. Leon on the other hand has the power of both science AND alchemist's magic on his side. A little Gremlin's Lair here, some Extinction there, with a dash of Noah, and Tony will be busted back to Private (again!) so fast it'll make his head spin.

You lousy brats! First Tony gets demoted in his own game. Then he gets downgraded to the Duelling League's lowest division after his debut fight. And now, for his first fight in his new division, he faces...a mouthy, smart-aleck kid. With cat ears. Of all the endless indignities! It seems the world isn't ready to give Tony a break just yet, so he'll have to do what he's always done: fight like hell to get ahead! Fortunately, Leon's actually an ideal opponent (aside from being a kid). A mage with poor defense and low damage, just the kind of enemy Tony likes. The brat'll be lucky to get a spell cast before Tony's guns rip him to shreds. Little punk!

Sure, Tony's consistantly been beaten down by a foursome of annoyingly idealistic brats. But only the one of them has ever had the gall to consider himself smarter than Tony. And he was just some useless whelp that noone took seriously. But now? Now he's up against a kid as annoyingly smug as Jude, but not because of any youthful idealism, but because you're obviously some mental reject compared to him if you don't get his technobabble (and really, the only ones who'd claim to get Leon's technobabble are the really smart types who refuse to admit that they can't understand something that sounds intelligent).
And that, sadly, will be the final straw. Because the one last shred of pride Tony had left was his brains. His ability to be a leader of men, to devise strategies of import, and to see the big picture. And now even that is being taken away. And if there's one cardinal rule of RPGs, it's that when the last light of hope is winking out, that's when you pull out the unstoppable killing rampage of doom.
Oddly enough, Causing Gore Above and Beyond the Call of Duty While on Public Relations Arena Combat is an Army offense punishable by demotion.
Leon Geeste: 26
Tony: 40

An epic slap fight between Leon Geeste and Tony except Tony is in his armor and Leon is.... well you get the picture.
"Great", Odin said. "Can't they have clean match for once? This'll leave a permanent stain."
Many contestant also comment on some expellian stain still left in the wall.
