Season 33, Week 2
Shante
(Arc the Lad Collection)
 
Light Champion and smash-hit singer Shante has finally come to Middle. Her first match will be a challenge of her abilities, but she's up to the task. Beating a dog may get her scolded by Lieza, but all is fair in the DL arena. Shante's version of Silence seals off physical attack skills in her home game, so it will remove the looming threat of his Shot ability along with all of his support skills. After that, Divide and her icy attacks will carry the day, proving once again that Shante can do more than just sing.

After waiting for thirty seasons since his last appearance in the Duelling League, this Ranger is finally ready for action again! And he's facing none other than the recently upgraded Light Champion! Well, time to show her that things in Middle are a lot tougher than they were in Light, as a few quick Shots will foil any healing strategy. It doesn't hurt that her status doesn't scare him at all either, as Shot is not magical in nature and her Sleep is blocked. All in all, an easy match for the Ranger.

The fight was fast, brutal, and one-sided. Shante just slung a few of her sleep winds until Bow collapsed. All while he barely made any effort to lift a finger. It seemed Shante had gotten lucky with her status, as Bow never even got a hit off.

After the match, the blue-haired singer dropped by Lieza's house in order to discuss her win. "I don't know how you managed to make that happen, but thanks Liez..."

Shante's sentence hung in the air as her mouth dropped open. Lieza was petting and hugging her newest pet, and the sight of it was something that would make anyone double-take a few times.

"Oh yes. I'm sorry I made you get beat up by the bad lady like that Bow. Do you want a snack? Yes you do! Roll over! Roll over! Good boy! Now fetch!"

Bow obediently (and enthusiastically) ran off after the treat Lieza had thrown for him. As it turns out, Bow was animal enough to be tamed by Lieza, and so Lieza had simply used Ravish on him before the match and made him lose it.

And so Shante wins her match, Lieza gets a replacement for the dog which drowned in the Great Disaster, and Bow... well, he's probably happier this way, since he gets affection from a pretty blonde girl on a regular basis now.

Scratch that. Definitely happier.

Shante: 32
Bow: 29

You know what was the best part about this fight? It's not one healer going up against another healer, or the fact that Bow is technically part of the canine invasion that seems to be happening this Season.

It was hearing Bow yell " BOOM! Headshot!" every time he drilled Shante through the head with a crossbow bolt. Granted, she was dead the first time, but he cracked up the audience so much he did it again.

Ain't life grand?
