Week 4 - Quarterfinals




Ellen Kirishima (Pers) Ellen Kirishima vs Empyrea Empyrea (DQ8)

SageAcrin
An interesting battle ensued.

Attacks flew, as both sides maintained both offense and defense in strong balance.

But ultimately, only one could win.

---

"We, the jury, find the defendant, Ellen Kirishima, guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit animal abuse and one count of conspiracy to slay an endangered species." Rosa solemnly noted.

Ellen simply swore voluably, as her sentence, being forced to stay 300 feet away from Empyrea at all times as well as hefty fines and being forced to pay legal fees, was announced.

Empyrea simply preened.

Of course, Empyrea had had an unfair advantage.

As a powerful bird in a fantasy realm, she was able to naturally enlist the best legal council in existance.

Harvey Birdman.

Ellen never stood a chance.

Ellen Kirishima: 11
Empyrea: 23


Deis (BoFs) Deis vs Zenon Zenon (Disgaea2)

Monkeyfinger
"So wait, Zenon's not going to show up?" Deis said to a line of nodding Ryus. "The opponent I'd face would be some fake? Not the real overlord?" More nodding. "Hahahaha. Beating up two of Godlike's punching bags and running scared from me, a real Goddess... no. Zenon's not going to pull that on me. Get me Laharl. I hear he knows a thing or two about luring out the REAL Zenon. I'll give that little coward the beating he deserves."

- A record of the last sighting of Deis, shortly after her 2nd match in season 46, transcribed by a shaken looking Ryu2.

Deis: 17
Zenon: 25




Legretta (TotA) Legretta vs Millenia Millenia (G2)

superaielman
A long, gruelling fight. Nothing was held back. Not clothes, not diginity, not anything. Millenia tore and wrestled at Legretta in a mud pit..

To a nearly empty arena. The ruckus and mayhem was being committed for nothing- with Zidane's possible appearence in the finals and the uproar with Fenril versus Geshp, the battle of femme fatales in Heavy was completely ignored. When Millenia finally took down Legretta, both were naked, panting in the mud and completely spent from their efforts. This display of gross and possibly intentional perversion was in fact arranged by one Edge Eblan, who set it up then promptly forgot about it when Yuri dared him to get into a knife fight with Luca Blight. (15 dead, 281 wounded and several riots later, the fight was declared a draw. Edge was most pissed by this, as he missed both the perversion and a chance to mess up Zidane. But that was later.)

In fact, the only person in the arena was a lone boy, a Light pressed into cleaning the arena since everyone on the cleaning crew had taken today off to watch the Zidane fiasco.

It was the happiest day in Randi's life.

Legretta: 12
Millenia: 33


Geshp (SF2) Geshp vs Fenril Fenril (OB)

SageAcrin
Fenril's not stupid.

Geshp's record is terrible, but his raw power is undeniable.

Therefore, he must have some incredible weakness!

A key point at which to strike, something he can never handle under any circumstances!

This was what Fenril searched for. And so, she talked to several of the people that had defeated his mighty powers before...

---

"...this can't possibly be the right arena." Geshp noted, as he stared blankly at his opponent.

"Of course it is. Only a fool would be willing to keep their dignity and be defeated. I have channeled as much youthful spirit as you possibly can! Like, totally!" A Fenril in a chainmail bikini, with stringy teeny-bopper hair and a wad of bubble gum in her mouth declared solemnly. "Combined with my Dragon power thingies, I have the abilities of over half those people that beat you, like ohmygawd it's so awesome!"

"...where the hell do these rumors get started. I'm not afraid of the young." Geshp sighed, shaking his head.

"I'm afraid of that." He pointed up without looking, with a deep sigh.

As Orbitting Space Station Zulan decended rapidly towards his noggin'.

Geshp's afraid of his spectacularly bad luck, not any force of man.

Meanwhile, Fenril just had the spectacularly bad judgement of looking like a dumb, slutty blonde in the Duelling League. She can't even get to the grocery store now without killing a few dozen perverts.

Geshp: 10
Fenril: 20




Jude Maverick (WA4) Jude Maverick vs MOMO MOMO (XS)

superaielman
Jude and Jr. MOMO and Yulie. Lookalikes and actalikes. At least, that was Albedo's master plan was based on. While Yulie and MOMO *may* look alike, there is one difference- Yulie, for all of her shyness, is a little more proactive about protecting herself. When Albedo saw his new Ma peche, he didn't stop to think about differences like. He went on a charm offensive, trying to get close to Yulie and apply the charm.


Yulie happened to be with Raquel, Gawn, Arnaud, and Kresnik, all of whom were escorting Jude to the ring. The results were as gruesome and horrifying as everyone expected- in a good way for the Wild ARMs cast members, who had been warned ahead of time about Albedo- and in a bad way for Albedo, who thought he could easily overcome a few normal humans to reach the apple of his eye. No one in the wild melee noticed a little extra gunfire and Jude vanishing, they were too busy seeing how many times they could make Albedo regenerate vitally important body parts within a 30 second span.

When 'Jude' came to the ring, the judges were a little suspucious- after all, didn't he normally use a shapeshifter gun? But as noted UOM Adray said, who could tell those damned kids apart anyway? Jude had red hair and a gun, this kid had red hair and a gun. Good enough. And if the 'fight' only lasted a second as MOMO tapped him once to beat him.. well, again, who cares? As noted mental giant Bart said, it was half off at Juli's bar and grill tonight for all middle judges, and her smoked salmon was excellent.

Jude Maverick: 23
MOMO: 25


Poco (AtLC) Poco vs Zidane Tribal Zidane Tribal (FF9)

superaielman
Zidane's brainpower, sense of tactics and general worth are all pretty low. But even he can figure out a few things: If he were to do anything even remotely out of line, the list of people who would kick his ass- from Ghaleon to the judges to Garnet to Edge to half the women in the DL proper- would make any mischief not worth doing. He'd have to find someone even lower on the food chain than him to randomly take the ire of people while he attempted to beat Poco.


Vaynard in a cardboard box, ranting about the mountains (of trash) he had to climb to get this far gave him the perfect idea.

===

The White Wolf of Norgard is unpopular. The sky is blue. Water is wet. Alonso however is hated. Loathed. Generally spat upon. And thanks to an especially stupid turn several seasons back, responsible for Zidane not being gone for at least 70 years in the DL histories. When Zidane set up a charity to help Vaynard buy back his ancient castle (Attempts to take it back were brutally repelled, as the NDF's crack commando unit Duran was horribly injuried when he attempted to climb down a chimney. Which was lit, as even the mid fall months were brutally cold in Flogeru. Never let it be said that Fairie was a tactical genius in *any* sense.), it generated a lot of cash.

Who'da thunk that Alonso in a dunking booth with the water tank full of poisoned water would be so popular? Not only did Zidane rais enough cash to buy back Vaynard's castle, he even had enough money to hire the Shu in the Neo Granzon while he handled Poco. (Or have the Neo Granzon step on Poco, either way- the judges were too distracted with laughing at Alonso's plight to bother paying attention to the fight.)

Poco: 12
Zidane Tribal: 27




Tellah (FF4) Tellah vs Chisato Madison Chisato Madison (SO2)

DragonKnight Zero
This is a story of a kid named Jason.

Jason had a pet frog who he'd named Fred. One day Fred had it with being cooped up in a fish bowl and made a run for it. Giving chase, Jason followed Fred towards a large radioactive container. When Fred touched the container, he grew to an enormous size and leaped down the hole which had appeared. Ignoring the absurdity of what a container of radioactive waste was doing in his yard (among other things), Jason pursued Fred down the hole. Miraculously landing unhurt, Jason saw no sign of his frog. He did find a battle tank with a funky pink and white color scheme and an armored suit with the same coloring. Again ignoring the strangeness of the tank (and an entire subterranean world) beneath the ground of his backyard, Jason climbs in the tank, dons the suit, and embarks on a quest to retrieve his pet frog.

Despite not being old enough to drive, Jason successfully pilots the tank through the depths of the subterranean world. Blasting hundred of mutated monsters and even uglier henchthings for additional modules for the tank, he navigates his way to the Plutonium boss. After an exhausting battle, he defeats the boss and finally finds Fred, who had reverted to his previous small size.

The reunion was not to last. A scant ten days later, "Fred" was frognapped by a strange... thing with an apron, oversized fork, and a gigantic tongue. Jason never saw Fred again.

Oh, the match.

Well, Fred was formerly known as Chisato. She's made a lot of enemies over the years and they're stoked at the chance for some payback. No way she could have avoided being frogged. Either Tellah does it himself or she defeats him in a blitz and one of his castmates transforms her from the sidelines.

Lezard puts a curse on Chisato so that she won't revert to human form unless she gets a kiss from a prince. Actually, any male would work but how many guys would kiss a frog at all. She's then given to Viki who had an allergy to frogs that day.

It takes quite a bit of bribery from Nate (and multiple threats of torture, shush) before the DL's premeir frog-catcher is dispatched to find and return her. Quina being Quina, eats her. A new one for the record books, it's the first time Quina refuses to eat a frog. Not liking the taste, it spits her out.

The powers that control the curse count Quina's eating attempt as a kiss. However, Chisato doesn't return to human form for a week as the forces governing her curse try to work out Quina's gender. (The verdict is still undetermined; the magical energies fizzled out from the strain of the puzzle)

Chisato hasn't gained any humility from the experience it seems. Any attempts to learn about the inside of a Qu's digestive system are met with savage beatings.

(Due credit to the story writers for Blaster Master. What were they sniffing?)

Tellah: 27
Chisato Madison: 29

Foliage
Chisato was determined to beat Tellah to a bloody pulp. She kicked, she punched, she somersaulted and basically used all the moves she knew to take care of the old geezard.

By the time she was done with her offense, Tellah had a few choice words to utter before the fight's end.

"That massage really helped straighten out those stiff muscles," remarked the Sage, before unleashing magical mayhem on poor Chisato.

Mini really -is- a bitch to deal with.




Imoen (BGs) Imoen vs Tai Ho Tai Ho (Suikos)

Miguel could be seen glancing at the arrow-riddled body of Tai Ho in the DL infirmary and nodding sympathetically.
