Season 19, Week 1
Badrach
(Valkyrie Profile)
 
Badrach may not be the toughest fighter around. Nor the most dangerous, and certainly far from the most honorable. In fact, when it comes to righteousness and moral standing Badrach's probably so far down the ladder that he's skipped the bottom rung and wandered off for a drink. Oddly, in this match, that makes his personality his most dangerous weapon. Aeris is hardly known for dealing well with criminals, and with a little imagination Badrach can probably see to it that she doesn't even show up for the match. After all, having conned his way into the ranks of the gods, how hard could it be to talk himself past a mere flower girl?

Aeris is often known, rather inaccurately, as a paragon of virtue. Her opening match against a noted scoundrel is an unmistakable opportunity to dispel that image. Indeed, Badrach often counts on his rather disturbing womanizing to scrape together Light wins, or at least walk away with a psychological victory, so when Aeris fails to bat an eye and offers to sell him flowers for a few million Gil, the shock alone will strip away any chance he ever had of victory. That Aeris has the rare advantage of out-damaging her opponent as well as the ever-useful Healing Wind Limit is just icing on a tasty, "I told you so"-flavored cake.

Badrach, realizing he would have a hard time beating a woman with large amounts of healing with his...rather mediocre fighitng skills, decided to try a smear campaign on Aeris.

Soon, people throughout the DL were whispering that Aeris had offered to sell her escort services (Or, as she put it, "dates") to anyone she found randomly, for simple services.

However, there were two problems with this.

One, people had been whispering this from day 1. Actually, more than whispering. Every member of FF7's cast had published books (Ranging from Cloud's "How I Learned To Accept Being A Lunatic, And You Can Too!" to Heidegger's "Politics For Dummies" to Yuffie's "Origami Made Easy".), they have a movie deal in the works for a sequal, and they even have action figures.

No part of ANY Final Fantasy 7 character's life is at all secret.

Two, Aeris just called up Lenneth Valkyrie, who was quite willing to give her every part of Badrach's records.

Aeris promptly posted them on an anonymous website, which detailed everything from him selling people into slavery, to fencing stolen panties from DL women's rooms, to attempting to convince Justin that he could make a killing in investing in the SEBEC corporation. (The fact that he failed may well be more damning than the fact that he tried.)

The end results was Badrach getting his knees broken before he could make it to the Arena, and having to forfeit. Oh, and a few dozen bill collectors contacting him.

Oh, and a pending lawsuit from the cast of Super Mario RPG, for 1.2 Million Coins, for being a party in a recent abduction of Princess Peach. Bowser was especially angered over that, it ticks him off when people besides him steal the princess.

Badrach: 7
Aeris Gainsborough: 56
