Lady vs Avalon
SageAcrin Silver hair. Mysterious pasts. Mystic forces that grant them incredible power. Surely these two duellers have much in common! And their differences! Why, Lady can't talk at all, allowing Avalon to expound on random evil plans, his breakfast, and butterflies whenever he wishes, without interruption! Surely there would be no bar to their love!? Hey, wait a second, who's that with the kni- --- "Killer?" Lady asked, puzzled at the corpse on the floor. "Eh, just killing a narrator. I think I'll drop the tape of his lines and his body at Avalon's doorstep and call it a day." Killer shrugged, as he cleaned his knife. Avalon never showed up for his match, instead preferring to hide in his closet. Just as a precaution. And now, as the replacement narrator, I believe I will do the same. Just as a precaution, you know. Lady: 28 
KOS-MOS vs Indalecio
Dunefar In theory, this is robot vs robot. In reality, let's look at this a little closer. It's a mad scientist who can destroy the entire universe against a sexified version of Mary. Tell me, which is more impressive if you aren't a 17 year old man? Alternately, KOS-MOS gets exploded to death. KOS-MOS: 23 
Luis Virgil vs Terra Branford
Gatewalker The Blue Testament wasn't sure what to expect when the green haired woman asked to speak with him privately, but this certainly wasn't it. "You're...serious? You'd lose, just like that?" Terra nodded, "Yeah. I'm not liking my chances of the championship this time anyway, and there are more important things then going down in a blaze of glory." Cautiously, Virgil nodded, "So what do you want from me?" --- Albedo had no idea what was going one. One moment he was sleeping soundly in his own bed, the next he was sitting in an empty movie theatre...chained to a chair in front of the screen. With Terra smiling at him and starting the show.... --- Eight hours later, as a DL Reintegration Team was collecting Albedo's molecules to put him back together, Virgil approached his opponent with a bemused smile, "He atomized himself to get away from you? Ingenious trick, though it couldn't have been pleasant. I assume our bargain still stands?" Terra smiled, "Away? Oh, we're not done yet. I haven't even gotten through half of my Sesame Street collection. And then we have Care Bears, Eureka's Castle, the Magic Shoolbus, and all sorts of other good, wholesome family fun to watch. The chair and chains you provided will hold him for as long as I need, and the healers have already agreed to reconstitute him in that chair for me." Even Virgil had to pale a little at Terra's cheerful and pleasant tone as she talked about what amounted to horrible psychological torture to Albedo. The half esper's smile took a hard edge for a moment, "I plan on making it very clear what will happen to him whenever I catch him sneaking around my orphanage, Virgil. Those kids are my life, and I'll put a stop to anyone who threatens them, whatever it takes. Good luck in the semifinals." Leaving Albedo to his fate, the Blue Testament just nodded and vanished, making a quick mental note to never get within a hundred feet of that woman's orphanage. Just in case. Luis Virgil: 33 
Loki vs Arc Eda Ricolne
Cryo What does it mean to be brave? Does it mean facing your fate without flinching, even if that fate is death for yourself and your beloved? Does it mean standing up in the face of adversity and persevering until the end? Does it mean facing injustice and adamantly drawing the line between right and wrong even as the entire world opposes you? Regenerating MP from a unique equip like the Brave Crest? Or is bravery being roasted, frozen, electrocuted, and hit with a surprisingly powerful cloud of poison before you can so much as draw your sword? For Arc, it's that last one. Whoever thought cowards never win hasn't met Loki and his Dragon Orb. Boom. Loki: 36
Decus vs Lenny Curtis
Joou Ranbu In a duel, the mightiest wins, no questions asked. Thus, one would expect that Lenny, with his fit body, steely fists and wind-shearing kicks would make short work of Decus, who, as your typical elvish wiseman, is kinda spindly, wobbly and rather unfit. Too bad this was decided in a math quiz. Which was going very well for Lenny. However, Decus, when realizing he was failing to correctly apply a decomposition algorithm to 2+2+2+2, just went ballistic and burned the entire stand. He won the match, but that still got him launched by Chisato's secret torture mechanisms. And, Lenny, well. He at least had fun calculating the exact trajectory Decus' flying body would follow after the launching while resting at the hospital. He even got it correct! Sadly, for the Wiseman, he landed inside Alma Kinan's quarters. The girls are still merrily brainwashing Decus into the lesbian cult, and they predict she (or did you think they'd actually let Decus stay as a man?) will be initiated within a month. Decusa will make a truly wondrous priestess to Alma Kinan. Decus: 35 
Asellus vs Edge Eblan
Gatewalker Asellus was an opponent that Edge had been looking forward to drawing for a long time. Is it not every pervert's dream to run into a kinky bisexual woman(and lets not even mention Edge sorta having a thing for green hair, on top of this)? He knew that he had a good chance of being able to take this match in style, all he had to do was play it cool, lay on that patented Eblan charm, and see what he can manage to get out of this. Pausing for one last moment to make sure he was looking his sharpest, the ninja prince knocked on Asellus's door... --- Edge was staggering into the arena, his hair a mess, his clothes on backwards and his mask hanging half attached off his face. He seemed like he could barely stand, but still somehow managed to drag himself into his side of the ring, and slumped against the wall. The crowd looked rather confused at first. Then someone mentioned that he looked in such bad shape, but didn't have a scratch on him. Then someone else mentioned that his opponent hadn't shown up yet at all. Then there was a flurry of speculation. Did he? He could, he was Edge Eblan, he could do anything. But would he? Nah, no way. But maybe... The wild whispering was cut off by the loud clearing of a throat, as all eyes turned to the green haired woman who made the noise. Stepping down into the ring, Rydia leveled a glare of pure malice at Edge, though her tone was frighteningly devoid of emotion, "Well, it looks like you've been enjoying yourself." Pulling himself to his feet, Edge started talking, and fast, "Wait, wait, Rydia, honey, I can..." "You can explain?" the caller's tone had taken an acidic edge as one hand was clenching and unclenching in anger, "You can always explain, Edge. You are the undisputed grand master of excuses. But frankly, I'm a little sick of them." "No, no, it's not like..." "And more to the point, so is Bahamut." A loud *THOOM* cut off any further argument from the ninja as Rydia turned on her heel and stalked out of the arena, while the judges could only shrug and award the now charred Edge the match on grounds of interference. --- Rydia was pissed. Not bothering to knock, she threw open the door to Asellus's room and stormed in, glaring at the lounging mystic. "Asellus, there's something that you and I need to discuss." Not even rising from her seat, Asellus just slowly smiled at her unexpected guest... --- Rydia staggered down the hallway, her hair a mess, her clothes on backwards and only one shoe still on, the other nowhere to be seen. She seemed like she could barely stand, but still managed to push open the door to her room and stumble in to collapse on her bed. At the sound of a throat being cleared, she looked to the side to see Edge wrapped in bandages in his own bed. Turning a deep shade of red, Rydia muttered, "You're off the hook, and we never speak of today again. EVER." "Am I at least allowed to tell Yuri?" "Oh hell no." "Can I at least think about it?" "...you will anyway, so go ahead." --- Back in Asellus's room, the green haired mystic looked up with a tired smile and a lazy wave as White Rose returned. The gentle princess chuckled softly as she gave Asellus an amused look, "Well, it looks like you've been enjoying yourself." Asellus's smile broadened, "Let me tell you all about it..." Asellus: 26 
Maya Schroedinger vs Saki Inugami
Dhyerwolf "Say boy, what do you have there?" "Oh this thing, old man? Wouldn't you like to know?" The old man held up his winesack, and the two men traded the items. "Saki's diary? What are you going to do with this, Yuri?" Gepetto asked. The Godlike only answered with a grin. --- "Oh my god, I'm naked! They can all see my Schroedinger jewels!" Maya screamed in fear. Maybe she should have found it suspicious when Saki's diary magically appear on her doorstep right before the match, but Maya read it hoping to gain some important insight. Sadly for Maya, all it did was transform her into Saki's Kouneki form in front of the entire RPGDL, and she wasn't quite ready to be that exposed. It would have been quite an even match if Maya's hysteria didn't give Saki an easily opening to pound her into the ground. Somewhere in the back of the arena, Yuri and Gepetto barreled over with laughter. Maya really should be more careful about what she reads. Maya Schroedinger: 17 
Ultros vs Feena
SageAcrin I could give a long, studied speech about this match. Or I could just simply say the word "Tentacles". Both would sum up this match evenly, after all. As much as any of Ultros' matches against a female. ... ...Yeah, I know Feena won. What's your point? Sometimes, when you win, you lose. And sometimes it's really just unavoidable. Ultros: 24 Namagomi
Meru vs Tear Grants
Dhyerwolf If there's one thing Magical Dancer Meru can not resist, it's cutting a groove (often quite badly!) on the dance floor when a sexy tune comes on. So when Tear's melodious voice rang out, Meru grabbed the nearest sexy young thang to dance with. Too bad for her that her dance floor was actually the arena, and that Tear's song of Judgement is quite painful for someone with a large fire weakness. Both Meru and her dance partner were made into a nice crispy treat for Tear to feed to some nice animal. Meru: 20 Clear Tranquil
Tengaar vs Alice Elliot
Joou Ranbu "... WHAT?" Opera's eyes widened at the unearthly sight. The shot of personally mixed gin she was merrily chugging down went flying in the direction of a hapless Roger Huxley, who instantly burst into flames. Nobody seemed to noticed his agony, however. The audience was as aghast as the Tetragenes. "But... uh... how could...", Deis murmured, putting on special glasses and carefully analyzing the sight. The sorceress raised an eyebrow and scratched her head. Margarete, by her turn, simply snickered, maliciously playing with a pen in her left hand. She certainly seemed to take it very well. "Oh, wow. This is a surprise, honey. Anything you care to tell us about that?" Yuri, comfortably (and looking rather posh, by the way) dressed in speedos, simply stared blankly at Hix's face, as if he had seen a ghost. Tengaar's sweetheart himself had turned into an unhealthily bright shade of red, also wearing speedos, but seemingly getting a lot of attention - unlike you'd expect. Alice, who until that moment seemed highly confident and comfortable, broke down into a giggling fit. Nobody could tell if her fit was due to horror or amused surprise, though. Probably a mixture of both. "Alright, ladies, you all seen enough. Have you reached a consensus yet?", Tengaar growled. She held a glowing Earth Rune in her right hand, subtly nodding to what could happen if they didn't come to a decision quick. Even so, she had a sly smile in her face, coyly eyeing her boyfriend with a triumphant semblance. It was pretty obvious that she was having fun, but even that had its limits, after all. Opera, Margarete and Deis glanced at each other, then sighed and shook their heads. Opera coughed, picking up her gin mixture again. "AHEM. Well, I believe so. In face of the... overwhelming evidence, we have no choice but to declare Hix the winner of the Speedo Surprise contest. Now, excuse us, as we have... some urgent business to attend to. Right, Deis? Margarete?" The snake sorceress winked. "Right-o." Margarete let out a laugh, and coughed merrily. Then, the three hurriedly left. "They're probably going to spend the next week writing three cons worth of fanfic after that", the Warrior lady snorted. "Hey, Alice. You done embarassing me here?" Hearing her boyfriend's annoyed voice, Alice facepalmed, and stared blankly at Yuri. The Harmonixer just shrugged. He grunted. "I guess that's a 'yes', then. I swear, if it isn't Edge, it's this." Then, he left as a bevy of enthralled fangirls went after him. As for Hix, he had ran away in shame a while ago, and was probably hiding from the shameless paparazzi that inevitably entailed. Things were kinda messy, to say the least, and the Duelling League tabloids would have gossip for weeks after this. Finally, the young cleric glanced at Tengaar vengefully, but sighed and gave in. "Okay, I admit. You win. But how come nobody ever knew about Hix's... um... well..." "Oh, that?", Tengaar snickered and turned to Alice with a cynical grin. "Honey, I stick with Hix for three reasons. First is that I'll make him grow an actual spine or my name is not Tengaar. Second, he's still pretty adorable. Third... well, it just became public. But, as for that being kept a secret... heh. I'm pretty possessive, y'know. Wouldn't let that come out without good reason." "Then... why. We could have just fought this out normally in the arena, y'know. Winning a Duelling League match hardly sounds like a good reason!", Alice haughtily fumed. To that, Tengaar smiled. "Well. Y'see, I think that the unique opportunity of one-upping your friggin' luck with landing Yuri in the love lottery is more than reason enough. Don't get me wrong, I love Hix, but you're Yuri Hyuga's sweetheart. I think just about every woman here wished she could be you at some point unless you count those Mystic freaks and Lelei, those are just loony. Plus, a woman can have her fun." The cleric then deflated. She shook her head, her thoughts nearly uttering an aura of defeat. Then, she sat back and blinked, finally accepting the circumstances. "... you have a point. Oh well, I guess I can claim my moral victory at least, no?" Tengaar snickered and shrugged happily. "Sure. My man still has the better speedos, though." Tengaar: 33 
Nikea vs Hahn Mahlay
Gatewalker Hahn versus Nikea...in an eating contest? Yeah, seems like Hahn didn't feel up to a punch-out today, and Nikea is always up for eating, so they decided to settle things this way instead of beating the snot out of eachother. The dish of choice today? Pizza, that staple of impromptu eating contests everywhere. Nikea managed an impressive fifteen entire large pies before having to call it quits. Hahn put away eighteen. Nikea is a champion eater, to be sure. But she made one fatal mistake in this contest. Never underestimate the eating prowess of a student when there is free pizza involved. Nikea: 17 
Fu So Ya vs Brad Evans
Dunefar You know, there's ways to get back to the Moon besides the Big Whale. Like, I don't know, a railgun blast that pierces the heavens? Ow, poor FuSoYa. Fu So Ya: 25
Viktor vs Freed Yamamoto
SageAcrin A master of swordsmanship, without parallel. A man who thumps things with his blade. A loyal knight. A wandering mercenary/vagabond. A man of keen intelligence. A bear. A man without a True Rune manifested into a sword. A man with a True Rune manifested into a sword. Three out of four isn't bad, Freed, but sometimes it's not enough. Of course, things will be different, next time. The Star Dragon Sword's been looking for someone it can hold completely under it's thumb, and by god, Freed's even wussier than Edge! Viktor: 42 
Jewel vs Estella
Gatewalker Estella wasn't an idiot. Despite preferring fire herself, she knew damn well what a water rune could do to her. And she knew that this Jewel was yet another Sword and Spell water runer who specialized in wrecking mages, just like Beecham, Kyle, Sigurd and others. No, far better for her to just stay home and enjoy some nice wine then embarrass herself by trying to fight against Silent Lake. --- Jewel stared at her "opponent". She was supposed to be fighting some awesome mage, but instead here was a dorky kid with a broom? What was that all about? Looking over to the judge's table, she just got a shrug and a thumbs up from Tir. Apperently she was in fact supposed to be fighting this kid. Thirty seconds later, Jewel was using her water rune to pick Rody back up off the ground and wondering why he never actually attacked her. Though even that was nowhere near as confusing as why Estella would pass up the chance to fight one of the few water rune users incapable of casting Silent Lake... Jewel: 24 
Balbaroy vs Stallion
Gatewalker Stallion, at his core, is a generic fantasy elf with a large nose and the ability to run really, really, really fast. Balbaroy, at his core, is a really big bird. Generic fantasy elves are master hunters. Birds, even large ones, are things that tend to get hunted. Can we see where this is going? Balbaroy saw it too, and decided to take a gamble on a kamikaze dive as soon as the bell rang, knowing that he was at a disadvantage in the battle of archetypes. There was still a problem with this tactic though. He went for a divebomb against someone who is really, really, really fast. Needless to say, he never connected. Well, he did connect, just not with Stallion. They're still trying to pry his beak out of the floor. Balbaroy: 12 
Raja vs Erk
Nitori Congratulations, Raja, you got a win. Although you didn't get a win this week, you did manage to help Erk win the 39th RPGDL cooking contest. Apparently roasted Dezolian that cracks lame jokes is actually very popular, particularly since you want to eat it to get it to shut up. Raja: 10
The Obscured Visage SageAcrin "Okay, so we're agreed." Joachim said, with a sigh. "...yeah." Luc and Sync said in unison, before glaring at each other. "...yeah, we're never, ever to mention that our brilliant disguises were pierced by that mysterious stranger, and we all mutually agree not to blackmail each other with this knowledge." Leo sighed. "Agreed." The other three echoed. --- "Y'know. I've seen a lot of cases. But one where everyone had a worse disguise than mine? I mean, mine's okay, but... man, that's still pretty bad." Kidd chuckled, as he put away his photograph of the four unmasked heroes/villians. Grand Papillon and Mystere: 13 Luc and Sync: 8 Suikodetectives: 17 Tantalus: 13 |
