Season 13, Week 3
Shiho
(Valkyrie Profile)
 
After managing to prove that, yes, she is capable of winning fights on her own (or with the help of a little bird) Shiho is now out to prove that she can beat one of the most respected Lights around. As always, Shiho brings nothing to the fight except her healing techniques and her familiar. But don't count Shiho out just yet! Long disgusted with the popularity of ducks over other birds, Shiho's familiar will be out for blood. Rhett is very much unprepared for the onslaught of winged fury and occassional healing he is about to face, and the only question is if he'll be well-preserved enough to make a nice down pillow.

Having stamped out the last Chrono Cross invader in Light, the cowardly duck with a love of food and a mean halberd is moving onto a match with... a young woman who attacks with a bird. The irony of the situation will likely be lost on Rhett, but at least he'll have no reason to be afraid. Rhett's powerful (and plentiful) swings of his halberd will easily overpower any defences or healing his opponent can muster, and Shiho is known as a terrible dodger, rendering any of Rhett's accuracy problems moot. With everything going in his favour, Rhett will assuredly be able to demonstrate to Shiho the might of Duck Power.


The Axeman
Rhett waited in the arena once again, not remembering who his opponent was, because he kept forgetting to look. To his surprise, a young girl slowly shuffled into the room, and looked at him.

Rather, she would have been looking at him, if she could see.

Rhett's opponent was Shiho, and he was shocked when he found this out. Rhett had heard stories of her, the blind songstress who fought entirely with the aid of her familiar.

To his amazement, she got into her fighting stance, and sent her little bird to attack Rhett, and though it didn't hurt much, a little trickle of blood ran down his body, where the smaller bird had pecked him.

It was then that Rhett finally realized just how much of a coward he really was. Here he was, one of the strongest warriors in the grasslands, though he was loathe to admit it, and yet he had attempted to dodge recruitment into the war against Harmonia. Yet, opposing him was Shiho -- little Shiho, who had no sight, no weapon, not even an attack spell to call her own. She stood with only her own courage, and her little familiar.

And Rhett felt very small, then. His whole life was brought into question, and he felt as though he had led a very empty life. He was still stuck in wondering, when the little bird pecked him a second time, and he remembered he was in a fight.

Whereupon he hit Shiho in the face with his axe really hard.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Being a symbol of hope and courage is one way to get ahead in life, but it's hard to argue with an axe to the face.

Shiho: 9
Rhett: 40

By the power of the night, the great Coin of Fate commands thee! On Halloween, if you find that such a light match bores you, why not subscribe to a local cult magazine. Find new ways for those blood rituals and summoning the unspeakable horrors of Lovecraft mythos, who cares if you lost you mind... you weren't using it anyhow! :-P

As for the match... oh great coin, show us the winner... *Flips a number of times*

Shiho shall prevail. It has been forseen. It has been decreed by the great Coin of Fate. Do not question the Coin's judgment... >_> <_< *Slips the coin a few bills*

Shiho was feeling confident. She had already beaten a boss, and her next opponent was a mere PC. After all, if he had a solid offense, he wouldn't be in Light. There shouldn't be anything to prevent her previous tactics from working once again. Needless to say, she never saw it coming.

Shiho should have the best Axeman writeup in this season. Thinking about it, this season has been very good for axe wielders so far. Probably the whole Halloween spirit thing.
