Kefka vs Zeromus
DragonKnight Zero Final Fantasy boss showdown. A contest of epic proportions. Among the mob of fanatics anyways. No one could figure out how so many immature message board idiots managed to show up in the stands. So divided and stubborn they were that a riot broke out before either combatant showed up. With a bit of smooth talking (and hinting at a chance to cause more bloodshed) Kefka and Zeromus agreed to an altered contest. Each would have free reign over half the message board idiots. Whoever could kill them in the more evil way would be declared the winner. Sure, they would actually be doing the world a favor but no one has to tell them that. Disco Queen Zeromus was definitely disturbing: inducing mass suicides among his victims and causing others to flee in sheer terror. After some time, he pasted anyone remaining with Big Bang. Kefka enslaved his lot into the Cult of Kefka. This would be enough to win by itself but Kefka wanted to show off his power. He forced an unlucky few new cultists to listen to Raja tell jokes and stories for hours. In their brainwashed state, they were given but two options. Listen to Raja or commit suicide with a dull razor to escape. Kefka cackled for hours as his victims tried desparately to leave the mortal coil. Kefka: 57 Barubary
Vandesdelca Musto Fende vs Cecilia Lyne Adelhyde
SageAcrin It promised to be a simple match. Cecilia would simply boost her defenses and speed to the stratosphere, then take whatever Van threw at her. Simplicity, really. There was nothing to be done about it, the match was hopeless. Then Van smashed her face in with Lightning Stab. It turns out that Van, a master swordsman already, hasn't let coming to the League dull his skills. And that having Kary and Queen Zeal on the judges panel was a lucky break for him. Regardless, despite the unfairness of it all, Cecilia, Godlike's whipping girl, falls again. Of course, Van woke up three days later in a G-string with a bunch of hooting, perverted girls shoving dollar bills at him. This is the Duelling League after all. It's not like any deed goes unrewarded. Perhaps this match is a cliche. Then again, usually Hanpan isn't hypnotizing old men into taking it all off. So perhaps not? Vandesdelca Musto Fende: 26 
Chaos vs Kurando Inugami
superaielman The Inugami line has fused and mastered control over demons for countless centuries. What the Harmonixers haven't mastered (as proven by one Yuri Volte Hyuga) is mastery over time travel. More than that, Kurando's explosive physical blitzing offense is up against one of Godlikes' great physical tanks- one who can heal to boot. It won't be long before Kurando is out of MP and SP, flailing away at Chaos while the demonic master of the Four Fields laughs and blasts Saki's son halfway back to Japan with a hasted physical chain. Chaos: 40 
Yunalesca vs Jade
Meeplelard "Alright, you have yourself a deal!" Jade shouted as he left the room, in excitement. At this point, Arngrim had entered the room. "What was that all about?" "Oh, I just offered a little wager for Jade's fight with Yunalesca. Given the fight seems pretty much in his favor, I decided a little spectacle couldn't hurt appease Lady Myria." Hrist replied. "...so you are betting on Jade's fight, is what you're saying?" "You could say that." "Well, I can't say I'm not surprised. Though, day I ask what you bet him?" "Simple. I bet him that regardless of the outcome, he will end up the ultimate loser." "Now I KNOW he's not stupid enough to take a bet like THAT. Those things happen on a regular basis here. In fact, I'd be more surprised if something like that doesn't happen these days." "That's not all! See, I also said that his loss would in some way make the Norgard Defense Force look good." "...ok, now that's a bit more interesting. But why would you bet on something like that? And dare I ask what you bet?" "My credibility against his. Namely, whoever loses must enlist in the Norgard Defense Force." "For both of our sakes, I hope you win." "Oh, I will." ----- Day of the match had arrived. Jade snickered as Yunalesca entered the ring. A BoltX here, turning into a Giant Bug there, evil sinister grin, secure victory, its all the usual stuff! However, just when the bell had rung... "THAT'S THE GUY! He's the one who insulted the Fairies honor! Get him!" Duran shouted as he charged Jade, stabbing in the back, followed by Alonso and Gares, both of whom attacked. Jade, of course just sided, and blasted all three with BoltX. The wound was minor, and because they technically caused SOME Harm to him (at least, in the sense of concentration), he was considered the victor by interference. ...of course, Jade hadn't factored in what happens when you try and fire a BoltX at point blank range, and thus, accidentally ended up nuking himself in the process. ----- "Well I'll be damned. You actually DID win that bet. How'd you know that was going to happen?" "Its the Norgard Defense Force. Tell them anything ridiculous, they'll believe it. Or more accurately, tell those three anything, and they'll jump on it like nothing else. So a simple lie about Jade claiming the Fairy couldn't strategize her way out of a paper bag was enough to get those three to attack instantly." "How'd you know he was going to BoltX himself?" "When Duran is attacking you, the first thing that comes to mind is kill him in the most brutal way possible." "...right, and the first thing that comes to Jade's mind is ALWAYS BoltX, should have known. I wounder how is Myria going to react to the fact that one of her strongest members is now going to join the NDF, though." "Well, I always have a back up plan in case she is in fact angry." "...you mean blame Teepo?" "Yes." Yunalesca: 17
Eirika vs Alfina de Pamela
Monkeyfinger "I'm unfamiliar with your opponent..." Seth mused. "Newcomer, but a pretty frightening, monstrous one, if the mental state of her last opponent is any indication." Eirika nodded, and drew her Sacred Twin. "If she's as horrific as I hear, this holy relic of Renais will put a swift end to her." Eirika galloped into the arena and found herself face to face with a huge, shapeless black monster, with countless tentacles sprouting out. Nodding, she charged toward it, dodged a swarm of black orbs, gritted her teeth as an unerring beam of energy bloodily raked her, then stuck the vile creature twice with Siegilnde, landing a critical blow with the second strike and causing it to dissolve in a spectacular show of dissipating darkness and ear-piercing screams. "I heard your opponent is a mighty warrior, so I summoned some... help... to soften her up", Emelious said to his sister Alfina in the stands. He smiled. "Don't say I never did anything nice for y- WAIT, WHAT?" Emelious and Alfina listened to Xorn shriek in agony, and watched him break apart, right before their very eyes. They took one look at each other, nodded, and ran. Eirika was awarded a victory, overjoyed with her success and none the wiser as to what really happened. Eirika: 30 
Antenora vs Jenova
Taishyr "NO. YOUR MOTHER FORBIDS IT. YOU MAY NOT ATTEMPT TO SEDUCE THAT MAN WITH SEXY DEATH THROES. EVEN EVIL MOTHERS HAVE ETHICS." Jenova-Death boomed through a "mouth". "...You... you aren't... This is Antenora, Jenova." Antenora said kindly. "AND?" "... I'm not Hojo? Nor am I your son, Sephiroth. I'm, uh. You're not related to me at all." "...AND?" "So will you please lay off the parental advice?" "I DON'T REALLY SEE WHY." "Because we're supposed to be fight-AAAAAH FIRE GET IT OFF GET IT OFF" "OH. WELL, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME YOU WANTED TO BURN TO DEATH FIRST. ...SINCE YOU AREN'T MY DAUGHTER, WANT ME TO MAKE SURE THEY RECORD THIS FOR VINSFELD?" "Please do." "OKAY." "Thanks. AAAAH FIRE PAIN AGONY OOOOWOWOWOWOWOW" Antenora: 17 
Decus vs Suicune
Gatewalker Decus was working up a serious sweat, even by the standards of someone for who merely overheated is considered nice and cool. He knew that he had managed to find a way to avoid a brutal water-powered beating at the hands, er...paws, of the legendary pokemon, but he didn't expect it to be THIS much work. Still, there wasn't much else to do but serve up the six hundred and thirty seventh platter of barbequed pokemon food and hope that these eating machines ran out of stomache sometime soon. That wasn't looking too likely though. Suicune decided to invite every pokemon he knew. Considering that he was a legendary who had been around the world multiple times, that was closer to, say, All Of Them then Decus would have liked. Three Snorlax showed up. And Rayquaza was putting them to shame when it came to shoveling down the chow(hey, not much BBQ in the upper atmosphere. He was eating while the eating was good). Still, it wasn't all for nothing. Even this amount of work was better then getting Hydro Pumped out of existence. And Groudon now considers Decus one of the most awesome guys EVER for his specialty "Overkill Spicy(No Really I Mean It)" recipe. Decus: 12 
Hahn Mahlay vs Rose
Taishyr Both fighters utilize a skill that causes death in the person targeted, without hesitation. Rose possesses an item allowing her to guard against the mystical magics capable of stealing life straight from the bones, thus protecting her against her own ability if needed. Hahn does not. However, being a learned man, and Rose being a wise woman with many years behind her, the two came to an agreeable conclusion. "Put me out of my misery, Rose! Please! I beg of you and your good nature! Help me!" Apparently Alys wedgies are far more brutal than a lot of things out there. Rose understood, thanks to fanservice clothing, and had no problems issuing the merciful end for Hahn. Alys is just angry that Hahn's managed to get up to her level in the DL, the little dweeb. Hahn Mahlay: 8 Joou Ranbu
Margulis vs Meganium
Monkeyfinger Margulis started the battle with a weak sword strike that nevertheless hurt a little due to being coated in flame. Meganium growled in response. Repeat 6 times. With Margulis's sword techniques reduced to gentle, mildly warm pokes, Meganium got cocky and started to toy with Margulis, prancing around him and occasionally healing off minor wounds. "Mega! Mega!" Gloating over reducing a fire user's offense to nothing was great fun for it for a while, but eventually it got bored and decided to finish things. That's when Margulis used all his accumulated boost to knock Meganium down with a Rakta, then vaporize him with 3 more, faster than he could blink. No one ever accused non-psychic pokemon of being smart. Margulis: 34 
Keneth vs Valeria
Joou Ranbu Apparently, Margarete, Deis and Opera were popular that week, being called to ref two matches in the same week. After the Hahn vs. Rose disaster, however, they decided to do something less jarring, albeit not by much. A "My Fair Lady" cosplaying contest between Valeria and Keneth. Keneth, sadly, didn't do very well, as he associated "putting an elegant dress" with "getting himself dumped under a ton of gaudy jewelry". As such, he resembled Carmen Miranda in a satin dress far more than Audrey Hepburn. Valeria, however, pulled it rather elegantly. The silk white dress, the black gloves and the classy cigarette holder, alongside a perky and simple pearl collar - those added up for a nice, veritably distinct look. As such, Valeria won pretty easily. Not all is lost for Keneth, however, as he's going to be the star of a story on dressing tips in Chisato's fashion magazine! Just don't tell him the name of the story is "How to not embarass yourself when trannying it up". Keneth: 8 
Nelis vs Aika
SageAcrin Nelis was sickened. Her opponent had slashed her way through the ranks of the League using... a lollypop? Was this some kind of a sick joke? Nope. Evidently the weapon was so weird as to shatter the minds of all that opposed it, a confection truly forged in the pits of hell. Or was it just that people were easily confused? Nelis, seeing her doom at hand, decided her options were limited, and went with the one that made the most sense. --- "Why'n the hell did you just hit me with a triple layer cake!?" Aika shrieked as she wiped coconut and chocolate off her face. "Turnabout." Nelis said simply, shrugging, as she lobbed a coconut cream pie square into Aika's baffled face. Okay, maybe it was the option that would also embaress Aika the most if it didn't work. A confused Nelis did end up wandering out of the arena eventually, giving her a technical forfeit. Which was handy, since Aika was desperately trying to keep Quina from eating her clothes. Which ultimately proved futile. Nelis, later watching the footage of a nearly naked, covered in Quina slobber Aika beating Sten senseless with a lollypop, smiled. It'd definitely been worth the try. Nelis: 10 
Meredy vs Albert Serdio
Taishyr "Ohmigoooooooooooooood Meredy loves-loooooooves it! It's so big and fluffy and cute and huggable and adorable and Quicky can ride it and - and - and - weeee!" "So. Albert." Reeve looked to the king with a slight grin. "Was it worth it to buy one of my Cait Sith dolls?" "Completely." The king smiled contently. "Better than fighting such a lass in the arena. I'd not be able to sleep with myself if I did so. And the cost total?" Reeve passed him a slip of paper. Albert took a glance, before his eyes narrowed on Reeve. The Shin-Ra executive shrugged. "You paid for the best in customized AI there, friend." "How much can I get if I apply the Albert's Royal Discount coupon?" Albert asked casually. "What coupon?" Reeve asked, bemused. "I don't remember acceptin-" Albert raised his spear to face Reeve's left eye, a slight grin on his face. "nnnnnnnnnnnot that I remember all the coupons I issue! Of course we'll accept that one! Hold on a second and let me check with my manufacturer..." Reeve ducked out, leaving Albert to sit there watching Meredy and Quicky ride on the Cait Sith doll. Meredy: 18
Zylo vs Gogo
SageAcrin Mimes don't let mimes mime mimes. Zylo, in an effort to confuse his opponent, had decided on a brilliant strategy. Do what he does! It had worked to defeat him before, he'd heard! Gogo, naturally, was game. All too game. Four days after the match started, a technical win was awarded to Gogo. Sure, it looked like they both died of dehydration at the same time, but come on, there had to have been a delay. Right? Zylo: 19 
Hix vs Kent
Taishyr "Okay. You've got a lot of potential, that much is clear. However. If you want to truly harness the power of that sword of yours..." "Ah... Ah! Yes, I see now!" Rebecca strolled down the arena passageway with a plate in hand, a tune humming through her head as she smiled somewhat vacantly, frowning only at the sight of Tengaar with her ear pressed against the door of the room for which she was delivering food, paying little attention to the archer. "Uh. Tengaar, the door's-" Rebecca started. Tengaar looked up, and motioned wildly at Rebecca. With a pause, Rebecca set down the plate and moved next to the door, listening in as well. "See, you can easily slide the blade in and out of its scabbard... like so. Your previous method was rather sloppy; far too rushed..." "Ah..." Rebecca paused, before looking to Tengaar, befuddled. "It's the basics practice Kent promised Hix after Hix lost that match to him. What about it?" Tengaar was giggling. "These two clearly have no idea what the sound like, you know?" Rebecca paused. Then her face turned red. Then she thought about it a second more, and turned completely crimson. With a muffled "Eeeeeeeee" she sprinted away from the door, leaving Tengaar laughing loudly outside the door as it swung open. Hix looked out, eyeing Tengaar curiously. "What is it?" "Oh... oh, Rebecca dropped off the food for you. Go... ahaha... go ahead." Tengaar said between breaths. "Ah. Thanks." Grabbing the plate of food, Hix shut the door again, leaving Tengaar laughing still. "So what was that about, Hix?" Kent asked placidly. "I think Rebecca and Tengaar were listening in." Hix replied, eyeing the food. "Mmm, sandwiches." "I am not used to the rations of this world yet, I must confess, but for the Lady Lyn, I shall endure." Kent said with the hint of a smile. "But why would... ah, the usual commentary on those who walk the road of the valiant fighter?" "Yeah, pretty much, I'd guess." A shadow passed Kent's face. "Bah. That happens far too often." Hix paused, before his face flushed. "Wait, so you and Sain aren'-" The flash of a blade was all Hix remembered before he fell unconscious. Kent glared at the young man, then the flat of his sword irritably. "And the fact that that caught you off guard means you still have much to learn, it seems." Hix: 20 
Jean vs Cius
superaielman An honorable fencing duel between a pair of noble if inept swordsmen. Cius is faster, Jean hits much harder. Both are fairly tough and require a good deal of physical punishment to take down. Only one of them has instant death. Honorable duels are good and all, but Jean's been burned repeatedly by fighters who took advanage of his honestly to avoid his Death spell. He can honorably apologize to Cius after he's dragged out of the arena and revived by an annoyed Lelei. Jean: 38 
Rafa Galthana vs Fargo
Taishyr Fargo isn't exactly the most ethical of duelists. Rafa is a woman with a traumatic past, who still is recovering from all the details therein. "...so you beat 'er in an 'onest fight, Fargo? Gettin' a wee bit soft in ya old age?" Kid asked with a snigger. Fargo looked at Kid steadily for a moment. "And what would have happened if I dressed up like Barinten?" "You'd have scared that bird straight outta the arena, that's what!" Kid laughed. "And invited the wrath of Malak." "Yeah, and who fears Mala-" "And Ramza." "...Oh." "And, by extension, Agrias, Meliadoul, maybe Delita, Orlandu, Worker 8, Beowulf, Reis..." "Okay okay okay I get your point already! Sheesh. Coulda just said it was a bad idea..." Rafa Galthana: 19
EMO RANGERS!!! Draco Ignifer So, would it be appropriate to say that the Emo Rangers don't have a PRAYER of defeating Giygas? Emo Rangers: 23 Giygas: 30 Moonlight Bomber
