Season 57, Week 1
Odin
(Phantasy Star)
 
A legendary hero with a legendary axe and legendary gun facing off against anything less than legendary is a legendary recipe for a legendary catastrophe. Legendary in his own right for many reasons, the legendary might of Odin is unmatchable - a mere lancer thinks he can top this? Odin may have little strategy other than his legendary prowess at hitting things with an axe in the face really hard, but against something less than legendary like Cid Highwind, does anything else matter? A single strike to Cid's legendarily ugly face with the legendary Laconian Axe, and Cid will fall down in an instant, long before he can unleash any of his own "legendary" limit breaks. Of course, even a limit break won't kill the legendary warrior Odin with the legendary resilience of the greatest legendary heroes of yore - only some legendary combat prowess, which Cid lacks, can take down the legendary hero. You don't get called a legendary hero for nothing - legendary power, legendary resilience, and a legendary legacy of legendary competence.

As Odin was preparing himself for the match, he heard a very familiar...and very unwelcome voice behind him.

"Here, use this!"

Forcing a smile, Odin tried to wave off the weapon being offered to him, "Ah, thanks but I'll pass. That's not really my fighting style, you know?"

The Allfather frowned as he held out his mop, "What do you mean? It's up to you to defend the good name of Odin, so I'm trying to help you out here. Go on, take it!"

Odin started to refuse again, but the sight of Freya giving him the evil eye made him rethink that idea, "Uh...alright. Thanks..."

The god turned janitor slapped him on the shoulder, "Attaboy! Now get out there and kick some ass!"

Holding in a sigh, Odin trudged out into the arena...

In the stands, Odin crossed his arms and cast a displeased expression over what he saw in the arena. Namely the soldier who shared his name getting the snot beat out of him by a mere pilot. "And to think I entrusted him with the power of the Mop. I should have known that no mortal could use it's full power."

Odin: 11
Cid Highwind: 26
