Sephiroth vs Celes Chere
Lyndis Celes knew she couldn't win this match nomrally. More likely she'll become pasted all over the arena walls as Sephiroth takes revenge for Celes using Knights of the Round on him during Behind the Scenes. So what's a magitek General supposed to do? The answer was obvious. Celes spent the entire week before the match painstakingly doing random battles with the Cursed Shield equipped. During that time, she also equipped every esper available, and learned every spell available. So, when it came time for the match, Celes came in knowing all the DL-illegal spells, and wearing the Paladin Shield, Force Armor, Marvel Shoes, Ribbon, and wielding the Illumina sword. She has over 130% mblock, over-leveled, and absorbs or nulls everything, and has auto haste, shell, protect, and regen. Sure, she was disqualified eventually, but the judges were nice enough to wait until Sephiroth had been beaten to a pulp (everyone loved watching that) as Sephiroth tried, without success, to land anything at all on Celes. Celes eventually Ultimas Sephiroth into submission. Sephiroth: 94 Tide

Indalecio vs Yuna
SageAcrin Ahhh, Indalecio, your talents are wasted upon you. Indalecio's plan was brilliant, in it's way. His opponent had two valid forms. A "valid form" is less a physical concept, but more a metaphysical state of mind, a state of being where your very talents and power is changed by the flow of time. Or, in Yuna's case, Rikku after a head-injury babbling at her for a few years. At any rate, it is a simple matter for someone who has the resources of Nede at his fingertips(Granted, it exploded, but backups are a neccisity of life. After all, Indalecio himself is one.) to create a device to implant in someone that can change their very state of mind. In this case, freezing their form. Of course, Cyril promptly betrayed Indalecio and told Yuna, but he expected that. (Cyril once ran off with spare change Indalecio gave him to get a soda. Talented, and intelligent enough to be useful to Indalecio, but not reliable.) After all, what could she do? Yuna, indeed, did exactly nothing. But she had learned enough. As the battle started, Indalecio, chuckling softly, shot Yuna with a simple dart, injecting the device into her. Within moments, her clothes had become substantially more scanty in a fanservicey transformation and she was acting substantially different. Then she tried to change form, and failed. Repeatedly. Smiling the whole time. Indalecio laughed. What could she do? Well, technically, she'd been class changed, from Summoner to Gunner. Over and over. And instantly reverted, due to the device. However, she was successfully going through class changes. Just not staying in different classes. Which was fine, for her... Since, after the fifth time this happened, she class-changed into Floral Fallal, due to having gone through all the gates on her Garment Grid while Indalecio was mocking her. So, Indalecio's in the odd position of cheating, losing, and getting beaten up by a girl dressed up as a giant fanservicey flower all at once. At last check, he was hard at work again. Seems he want to design a device that makes people think they're Zidane. It seems to be working well on Cyril. Indalecio: 43
Mario vs Wakka
Lance The day before Mario was set to take on Wakka, he received an extra-special pep talk from Peach. Normally, the Princess is not the kind of person to hold a grudge, but when she heard that her beloved Mario was going up against the guy who beat her earlier in the season, Peach's vindictive side began to show. What better way to humiliate that brash Blitzballer than to have her dear sweet stud muffin beat him to a bloody pulp? After Peach played up the 'damsel in distress' role a bit and promised to bake Mario the biggest cake he'd ever seen if he won this next match, the mustachioed plumber had all the motivation he needed to avenge the loss of his girlfriend. Then Bowser got involved. It turns out that the Koopa King was still upset over his loss to Rikku all those seasons ago, so he figured that striking a blow against one of her friends would be a good way to exact some revenge. He proposed a cunning and diabolical plan to Mario and, in the end, managed to form an alliance with his sworn enemy. Mario was suspicious, of course, but he figured that since they both had a common goal, it couldn't hurt to work together. After all, it wasn't the first time they'd done so. You would think that Mario would know better by now. It turns out that Bowser's "cunning and diabolical plan" was just like all the others he had come up with over the years: kidnap his enemy's girlfriend/wife/love interest and hold them hostage in a remote castle somewhere. Simple, yet effective. All they had to do was kidnap Lulu and Wakka would be so busy trying to rescue her that he would miss his match. What could possibly go wrong? Well, I'm pretty sure you can guess what happened next. Mario tried his hand at damsel-capturing and got a face full of dual-casted Flares for his troubles. Wakka won the match by default since Mario never showed up (it was kind of hard for him to fight in a full body cast, after all). When Wakka later asked Lulu what had happened to his opponent, she merely shrugged and tried her best to hide a smile. And Bowser? Well, you can still hear him guffawing from his castle even though the match took place three days ago. I guess even incompetent dolts like Bowser are bound to have one of their plans work every now and then. Mario: 42 Tide

T260G vs Artea
SageAcrin An elven mage. A robot. Clearly, they have nothing in common. ...Or do they? Actually, there is one thing about both of them that they found a common link in, a true and noble bond that they both can share. And that's how T260G ended up entering the arena painted in various bright pastels and covered in bright ribbons, while Artea marched in in a floor-length chiffon number. It seems their common bond is being gender-confused. While Artea may have defeated T260G in a fierce battle, the memory of the battle will never fade from the minds of either. It will remain one of their fondest memories, for all time. And the memory of their girlish giggling and catfighting will remain in the memories of all that saw it for all time. However, they aren't as happy about it. T260G: 38
Maria Traydor vs Jessica De'Alkirk
SageAcrin Two women, fighting their hearts out, to reach the finals. Well, that's the way it should have been. Unfortunately, this match happened to be held one day after Indalecio successfully installed his prototype Zidane Mentality Chip(ZMC, Patent Pending, available at all places weapons of horrible torture are sold. Also, Guido and Ramus have a few in stock.) into Cyril. So about five seconds later, a insanely laughing Cyril lept into the arena and used Wind of Destruction to rip off Jessica and Maria's clothes. The crowd was stunned for a moment. Then the flood of perverts trampled Cyril. Then the flood of women trampled the flood of perverts which, in turn, were still on Cyril, and beat them senseless while Maria and Jessica fled. The judges were too busy trying to pick off perverts from afar to notice who left first, so ultimately the entire match was settled by coinflip, which suited the traumatized girls just fine. As for Cyril? It seems that, between the head injuries and the chip's effects, he now honestly believes he is Zidane, true ruler of the universe and panty thief extrordinaire, the ultimate lady's man and conqueror. Even after Indalecio removed the chip. Indalecio's just going to drown him the next chance he gets. It's really simplest this way. And perhaps, kindest. Maria Traydor: 66 
Shion Uzuki vs Strago Magus
Lurking Registered User Shion almost had it in the bag: She had decent damage and a frail old mage as an opponent. One or two hits were all it would have taken to flatten Strago and go on to the finals... Except: "Funny, isn't it?" remarked Strago as Shion began to take aim with her anti-Gnosis weapon. He continued by casting Dischord on himself, halving his level. Shion, ever the scientist, let her curiosity get the better of her, and lowered the weapon a bit so she could converse more easily. After all, he was inexplicably weakening himself, and she still had a gun. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Well, like how the way this tournament is set up can give contestants who have no chance at winning normally get a break." clarified the Thamasan mage, casting Dischord on himself again as he expounded. "Oh, like anyone fighting, say, Squall?" replied Shion, now really interested in Strago's hypothesis and strange actions. "Exactly my point. And as you know, contestants are given statistics commesurate with an average level upon defeating their worst enemy, such as Kefka or Albedo. But to make things easy, they tend to set things up with such nice, round numbers. Y'know, multiples of 10, that kind of thing." "Uh, right..." replied Shion, not at all sure where this was going. "Well," continued Strago, continuing his dramatic gesturing, "my point really is this: Lvl. 5 Death!" Strago grinned. Being level 12.5 had its advantages... Shion Uzuki: 45 Tide

Chisato Madison vs Palom
SageAcrin Fisticuffs, blackmail, loyal(?) servants(?), blackmail, machinery knowledge, blackmail, verbal abuse, blackmail, Chisato has access to a lot of useful options in battle. Did I mention blackmail? However, her opponent is an innocent child. Okay, perhaps not innocent. Actually, that's the problem, you can't blackmail someone whose flaws are known to all. However, there's always an alternative. As Chisato showed by pulling out Porom's sordid record of assault, accessory to theft, poaching endangered species of monster, accessory to murdering multiple Godlikes in planned cold blood, accessory to airship piloting without a license, accessory to violating Lunarian airspace without proper clearance, loitering in narrow, public passageways and truancy. A good reporter can put a spin on anything, even a hero's life. Palom, when confronted with this, misunderstood, laughed, and told her to go ahead and release the info. Actually, Chisato blackmailed him with not releasing the info if he showed up at the match. Palom forfeited. Chisato promptly sent the info to Porom and told her that her brother wanted her to release it to the public in exchange for throwing the match, and that she'd need something to persuade her to not. Porom, desperately, talked with the Mysidian Elder, who agreed to help her. And that's the story of how Chisato ended up with her own private Lunar Whale while going on to the finals, and how Palom ended up hanging upside down by his underwear in the middle of an arena on an exceedingly high pole. Ahhh, sibling rivalry. It's so precious, isn't it? Chisato Madison: 55 Lurking Registered User
Forde vs Seth
Tide In Chinese, there is a phrase that says it's always better to watch the student surpass the teacher. Seth is the teacher. Forde might be a poor student, but when you consider how he manages to fight despite the slacking, he's must be pretty damn good at it. And thus, the saying holds true even in the case of one dimensional duellers. Forde: 56 UltraDude
hooah
Shining Force Strikes Back Silverlocke980 One of the major problems of being a villan Godlike is that everyone and their mother wants to beat on you. The reasons for this are many and varied: fame, fortune, personal vengeance. For example, when Piastol and her drinking buddies wished for nothing more than a destruction competition, they were swarmed by the rest of the DL, most of whom were hoping to get fame and fortune from defeating a Godlike. Such an event is annoying, painful, and much more life-threatening than any truly villanous Godlike would mention. Unfortunately, Loki and Rashidi were unaware of many things. One was that Zidane's group was once again owned, this time by Max and the Shining Force. (As a side note, Ghaleon felt a moment of pure elation when Zidane was stabbed with the Chaos Breaker; he didn't understand why, but he felt like all was right with the world at that moment.) The second was that Max and his group have strength in numbers and tactics. With the tactical genius of Max and the reinforcement of Darksol's group, these are now at near epic proportions. The last thing they forgot was that Sephiroth was busy figuring out how to beat Celes Chere. He wasn't worried, but thought that defeating a fellow FF character too easily would be humiliating to the entire series, and he was figuring out how to beat her gently, if that was at all possible. Henceforth, Sephiroth was busy elsewhere, and never knew that Max and his group were currently destroying his villa. The morning after the battle, Sephiroth came back to freshen up before his match. The only thing he saw before his eyes went red with rage was his utterly destroyed mansion, and the badly-mangled bodies of Rashidi and Loki, surrounded by the (newly-healed) sleeping figures of Zidane and his crew. After all, as Darksol had said to Max, following their victorious battle, it's always better to put the blame on someone else than on yourself. Sephiroth never did find out it was Max and his Shining Force. The punishment he wrecked on Zidane and his crew became the new thing of legends. ShiningForce: 46 Villians: 14 Sephy: 33 LeonGrex
