Heat vs Chris Lightfellow
Gatewalker Bored with how obvious the result of this match would be if it was a fair fight, Palom(who's bright idea was it to let that punk judge matches in Godlike anyway?) decided to spice things up by turning the match between Heat and Chris into another sort of contest. The game: Darts. The target: A sleeping Empyrea. The rules: Each duelist has 3 darts to throw. Hitting the body is worth 5 points, hitting the face is worth 10, and managing to get one in her eye was 20. The real bullseye though, was the 30 points for getting one in her open beak. The twist: Eggs would be used as ammunition instead of actual darts. Chris, while not liking the premise very much, agreed to this match thinking that she could just apologize to Empyrea later. Also because she knew she had a much better chance of winning this then a fight against Heat. Heat thought that throwing eggs at a goody two-shoes like Empyrea would be a hilarious way to kill some time and hell, the guy who's an expert with a grenade launcher has to have some advantage over Generic Swordgirl #3 in a game of "darts" right? Neither one of them really thought through what kind of reaction pelting a very maternal bird with eggs might have. Palom certainly did though. Watching Heat and Chris run like crazy from a berserk Godbird was about the most fun he'd had in a long time. What he did fail to think through though, is what tends to happen to people who set Godlikes up for pain and embarrassment. He's on Heat's menu every day for the next month. Oh the contest? Heat managed to lob two at once right down her throat after Chris pissed her off with one in the eye. With 60 points with his first two eggs, it was over, easy, in Heat's favor. No matter how much she scrambled, Chris just wasn't catching up with that. Heat: 30 
Violetta vs Sephiroth
Meeplelard *one week before the match* "So, I'm facing her again? Looks another easy win for me." Sephiroth thought outloud. "Yeah, another boring fight with you in and all that. You really lack that artistic feel to bring a proper show to the audience!" shouted Kuja, a fellow member of the new 'Chaos Legion' made up of various Final Fantasy Villains...and Jecht... "So I'm more blunt about my actions. I figure stab first, rant about Jenova later is far more effective." "HA! I knew it! You can't put on a proper show without either your magic *OR* that oversized sword of yours! Why, I bet you'll just cower away into these encore routines that no one wants to see anymore~!" "So you're saying I can't be original if I wanted? And what have you done that's so original?" "I successfully turned Celes Chere into a lesbian..." "...touche. Ok, I'll take you up on your wager, and prove to you I can in fact do something remotely creative! Oh, and don't come crying to me if you realize you have been badly outdone in all senses." "Hmph, how maddening! You could not possibly beat me at my own show! But nevertheless, the terms are simple..." Its best we not talk about the terms, and go straight to the result... One week passed, Violetta was getting out of her room, ready for a fight... ...to be greeted by a man with red hair and dressed entirely in red leather. "Oh my god...you're Gackt, aren't you!" "To an extent." "I have to have your autograph...but I can't let Emelious know about this...oh what do I do?" "Perhaps this passage will help you come to your senses... Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess We seek it thus, and take it to the sky Ripples form on the water’s surface The wandering soul knows no rest" "That was...beautiful..." "Then perhaps you'd like to hear more?" As such, from here, the 1st Class SOLDIER started quoting the entire score of Loveless, sometimes repeating himself...and by sometimes, we mean constantly. But Violetta was so enamored by this... ...she never showed up to the fight, so Sephiroth was deemed victorious by default. "...I...no! How did you pull that off? HOW?" Kuja stared blankly as Sephiroth actually won a fight without making even a single action. "Simple phone call to a friend of mine. I told him this Violetta isn't one for the arts, especially Loveless, and well..." Sephiroth just sort of pointed to the results "besides, while not poetic myself, I think I just badly outdid you in using that as an attack" Kuja was stunned. Sephiroth was right. He could never one up that without destroying his dignity. He also had to consider that he also the lost the bet, which means he had to subject himself to Education sessions led by none other than Bartz Klauser. ...Kuja was seriously regretting challenging Sephiroth, and knows not to try that again. Violetta: 16 Barubary

Maya Amano vs Claude Kenni
Taishyr The intensity was unbearable. Both fighters were sweating profusely, glaring daggers at each other as the match went on. And then Claude blinked. Maya cheered triumphantly in victory- right before Claude Mirror Slashed her, ending the actual fight. ------- "So what was the staring contest about?" Rena asked, sipping on some milk as she watched Claude curiously. "Oh, she said that she knew the fight would be a loss, so she wanted to get into a staring contest instead. Just so she could claim some small victory. She equipped Artemis beforehand so I could finish her easily as thanks." "...that's silly." Rena made a face. "Why bother with such a silly thing?" "I don't know, honestly." Claude shrugged as Chisato came in. And proceeded to beat Claude's face in. ------- "So you didn't tell Chisato that the match -wasn't- going to be decided by the staring match?" Ellen asked a grinning Maya, who took a ginger sip of her margarita. "Nope. So to her, it looked like I won... and then Claude stole the victory." Maya giggled. "You are a vengeful one." Ellen mused, sipping her vodka. "Hey. Gotta get my kicks outta those lost causes somehow." Maya smiled. "Now, to find something to occupy myself until the next season I get in..." Maya Amano: 8
Lin vs Fred Maximilian
Ayra By Rico's insistent suggestion, Fred was busy reading some of the books she carries in her huge pack called "manga". Reading such things was decidely unknightly, but losing a battle was even more so. Lin is known to shout her attacks before even doing them, an edge that a wise Maximillian knight as him could use to make his obvious victory even more certain. He studied those books, learning how to counter attacks such as "Heavenly gunshot of the wind" or "Blood of ten thousand demon on a sleepless slash!!!" With his stellar evasion, his uncanny awesome shield skills, plus his new understanding of shouted attacks, Fred was more than ready. --- Fred was standing at the ready, awaiting the attack from the lithe and agile catgirl who seemed to suddenly become slow once the actual battle started. The might of the Maximillian knights will triumph again! Lin finally opened her mouth to call her first attack. "Greetings... Hey, hey!" Fred's mind momentarily paused. What kind of attack was that? Where was the overly blown flowery description? As he was about to answer a clumsy "Hello" He suddenly felt the sting of two gunshots. Treachery! That he knew as a knight! He was facing a vile evil foe, trying to lure him into her game! He quickly used his lightning rune and started rushing toward her to cleave her in two. "C'mere!" Fred instantly stopped. She was about to attack with a "C'mere!" attack. What was that? He didn't see that attack in those manga! Or... she had a trick, and was trying to bring him to him her! A vacuum came out of Lin's gun, slowly pulling him toward her. "No!" shouted Fred as he suddenly started running away from her to stop her trick. When he finally was far enough with his back turned, Lin shouted, reversed the vacuum and then shot: "Kidding! Stay here!" It took all of Fred's agility and courage to not fall out of the arena bounds at the new attacks, whincing in pain at the bullet wounds. The witch! His mind was working overdrive, trying to make sense out of everything that she said and done, and trying to match it to those manga attacks... He let out a frustrated scream and started walking toward Lin again, unable to do more due to the last attack. "That's it! Take this, A Present:" Fred's mind scrambled trying to make sense out of the whole thing. What could she possibly mean??? "Blow up!" It's still unknown if it was his mind or his body that blew up first. Lin: 24 
Eileen vs Sania
Cryo "So you're telling me that if I don't throw this coming match, I'm going to have bad luck for the rest of the year?" Eileen asked the (not so) mysterious fortune teller she ran into while shopping. "Exactly. Should you set foot in the arena, you will bear unspeakable misfortune for one full year. The only way to avoid this fate is to avoid the conflict and forfeit the match." Eileen is actually a fairly superstitious woman, and being the mother of a rather spontaneous child had led her to be more worrisome than your average woman. Despite that, though, she was no idiot. She knew better than to take the advice of a veiled fortune teller asking her to just hand a coveted victory to a woman who was known for posing as a veiled fortune teller. And so Sania was introduced to the agonizing power of a Suikoden Earth Rune in the hands of a skilled mage. The result was a bloody mess of a woman and justice for honest matches in the DL. Then Sten fell on Eileen in a most embarrassing manner after getting kicked out of the stands. This was followed by being smacked with a Death spell cast by Nina the second that had been aimed at the perverted little monkey. It was the start of a very bad year for Eileen. Sometimes even biased advice is good. Eileen: 21
Oulan vs Mel
Browbeat Let us briefly sum up the key features of the fighters before us: Oulan, a woman who takes 'strongarm tactics' so literally that armor and physics bow to her will (as much as they do to a Light, anyway). With decent speed and passable defence, this woman feels most a home in a good ol' fashioned scrap. Mel, on the other hand, is a peppy young girl with a fetish for ventriloquism. While we have learned that defenceless cute young girls are nothing to sniff at when it comes to the DL, her only real hat trick is a wolf sock-puppet that breathes fire. While novel, Oulan can do this by igniting her breath with an errant spark after a good night's drinking with Victor and Humphrey. The only problem here is that Oulan does her best to protect young girls in need, and Mel just has that coquettish look about her... Perhaps Chaco can convince her that the puppet has, indeed, possessed the young girl and only a sound beating can free her adolescent mind... Let's enjoy the pummelling for what it's worth. Oulan: 34 
Bartre vs Titania
Taishyr "I thought you told me writing 'Rune Cannon' on my axe would work!" Bartre bellowed at a rather peeved Erk. "Look. Firstly, it didn't... it wasn't even supposed to work against Snowe, damnit. Secondly, Rune Cannons aren't Titania's weakness, you dimwit - you actually have to fight her. Waving your axe around like an idiot's not going to do jack to her." "So... you're telling me that you gave me bad advice." Bartre said solemnly. "No, I did -not- give you - well, in all point of fact it should have been bad advice but it wasn't! It's not my fault you went up against a flat-out superior fighter. Sheesh." Erk grimaced. "Look, next time you face off against her, just tell her that she's both a cradle and a grave robber. That'll make her pissed off enough that you'll win just fine." Bartre eyed Erk skeptically, before walking out. Erk shook his head. "Idiot..." Bartre: 8 |
