Season 21, Week 3
Rashidi
(Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen)
 
Add a vampire lord to the list of those foolish enough to get in the way of the Wise Man's mystic powers. Easily dispatched and just as easily forgotten, Brahms is now a footnote in Rashidi's climb to the top. Next in his way stands Citan Uzuki, an upset victor over Mewtwo. Citan is a speedy fighter, but his damage is far from overwhelming - hardly a good thing against Rashidi, whose own insane speed and incredibly quick actions more than lets him evenly trade blows with Citan, haste or not. Lifesuck should keep Citan's own healing at bay... assuming the good doctor lives long enough to even use it.

After pulling a surprise victory over Mewtwo, a run for the Good Doctor that eclipses his past successes seems quite in the cards. Rashidi may be a tough opponent, but Citan has the skills needed for victory. Senki doubles his already-impressive speed, allowing him plenty of breathing room to heal. With his multi-purpose shields he can apply an elemental weakness on Rashidi, which he can subsequently take advantage of by striking his opponent with his powerful elemental hyper deathblows. With proper strategy, something the good doctor has in spades, Citan can win this match without too much of a hassle.

Citan saw what had happened the last time someone had dared to be able to overcome Rashidi in a fight, let alone his previous beating at the hands of Mewtwo. It was to his great surprise when Rashidi came to the arena looking half asleep, dressed in a bathrobe, and smoking a morning pipe.

"Hello, lad. You wished for a duel? I'm afraid I'm not up for such a challenge. Still a bit tired from that previous display of energy. So..."

Rashidi stepped back, and behind him stood a fully dressed Rashidi! A quick shimmer in the illusion showed that it was, in fact, a very pissed off looking Mewtwo. "He seems to wish to have a few words with you. With my blessings, Mewtwo."

Rashidi's illusion shifted, so he looked like yet another innocent bystander in the match. Sipping a drink, Rashidi smiled as Mewtwo tore the erstwhile Guardian Angel of Solaris apart. However, the illusion shifted during the fight, which showed who was really beating Citan within an inch of his life. Rashidi just shrugged at this and dropped his own illusion, and quickly dispatched anyone who tried to interfere in the fight on Citan's behalf. Before long, Mewtwo stood over the remains of Citan, victorious and avenged.

[My thanks for this chance for revenge. As for my end of the deal... consider it done, with my blessings.]

[A pleasure doing business with such a like minded fighter.]

Melfice and Ryudo sheathed their weapons and walked out of the bar where they were watching the fight, most amused. "That old man who stood against me in the finals lost again, Brother. Heh heh.."

[I wouldn't be so arrogant, Horn of Valmar.]

Melfice glanced around for the voice that had spoken to him, and saw nothing. Shrugging, he and Ryudo walked out of the bar, and headed toward their quarters.

[Again, you presume too much. Did you not think that Rashidi would get nothing out of this deal? He wanted just one thing, which is the same thing two other very angry people wanted..]

Melfice gulped suddenly, and yelled at Ryudo to sprint towards the shelter of their rooms. It was too late, as a very angry looking Genevieve and False Althena stood in front of the doors. "Hello, rival. Long time no see." Genevieve stood, preparing some sort of spell. False Althena merely floating above the ground. "The Wiseman personally contacted us about it. Such a powerful and resourceful man.. just someone I'd like to spend some personal time with. But enough about me, it's time to teach you two the cost of crossing the savior of LUNAR!"

Rashidi watched the fight in a crystal ball, nodded to Mewtwo, and walked off. He had gotten his money's worth out of this loss..

Rashidi: 28
Citan Uzuki (Hyuga Ricdeau): 33
