Season 31, Week 5
Ryu
(Breath of Fire III)
 
When Ryu makes a Championship, it never just seems to be a normal Championship. It always ends up to be something epic, usually settling an old rivalry or going up against the face of evil. Now, my friends, we are proud to give you a Godlike Championship that brings you both. Ryu's opponent this season is none other than the Goddess Myria, and this Brood heir is fully and utterly committed to bringing her down in the arena. He'll use each and every possible gene he can muster power from, every Bonebreaking ability, and every one of his impressive attributes to make sure this false Goddess goes down hard. With both of them gunning to grab the Godlike championship yet again, this is certainly shaping up to be a fight - and a win for the Brood - that will be discussed for a long, long time.

If there's any more proof required that Myria's noble goal of sealing off the dragons was correct, all the Goddess has to do is take a look at the carnage that Ryu the Third has inflicted in the arena. Godlike champions lay slaughtered in his wake. Strong demons and stronger heroes have been shattered by the limitless power of the Kaiser dragon. Myria's job- no, her duty- is to contain the power of the Light Dragon, no matter the cost to her. With near unlimited amounts of HP and enough damage to make all of Ryu's dragon forms weep tears of blood. It'll be a long, savage struggle, much like her last battle with Ryu, but... This time Myria only faces down one enemy, one stuck without any friends or allies in combat with the strongest entity in the Breath of Fire universe. For all life!

The fans were getting impatient. Ryu had shown up to the match and was waiting patiently for his opponent, who had called to tell the judges that she'd be a few minutes late to the match.

Finally, Myria showed up with a look of satisfaction on her face, but she did not yet step into the ring.

"Ho ho ho! Everyone, just wait a little bit longer! I promise you this is a pregame show you don't want to miss!" laughed the goddess. And in the background, the sounds of epic battle got closer and closer.

With a mighty crash, the gate to the arena buckled and flew off of its hinges, over Myria's head and into the center of the ring. Standing in the archway, glaring at Myria with an expression of guileless innocence that somehow conveyed pure hatred was the unmistakable form of Hello Rinarill.

"Oh, don't you like your new playmate? Profound Darkness isn't the only one who can create monsters, you know, and I can't have you interfering with more of my matches..." smirked Myria.

Hello Rinarill took a single threatening step towards the goddess, and was slammed into the ring from behind by a giant stuffed pink cave-moogle being ridden by a small sandy duck-billed lizard-like creature with floppy ears, a long tongue, and a megaphone cranked up to top volume.

"MEESA JAR-JAR-CHU-CHU SITH, CHU! OH, MEESA SO SORRY, CHU! THAT WAS BOMBADA BADCHU! LET MEESA HELP YOUSSA TO YOUSSA FEETSA! CHU CHU KACHOO!" screamed the new abomination at the top of its megaphone-amplified lungs.

Hello Rinarill countered with a Triple Hydro Pump, only for Jar-Jar-Chu-Chu Sith to accidentally trip out of the way, allowing half the stands to be decimated. Not to be foiled so easily, Hello Rinarill followed up with an Aura and a Rollout that knocked Jar-Jar-Chu-Chu Sith flying into the air, where it attempted to use a materia, but somehow managed to pull out a Slot Machine and drop it instead.

Upon strinking the ground, the reels began turning.

Death Joker was cast.

And of the four in the vicinity, only Myria was not yet in the ring.

The now-dead Ryu was judged unfit to fight, and Myria was awarded her championship.

Ryu: 49
Myria: 51

The cards were dealt. Ryu3 grinned after looking at his Ace King set. He put in ten of his one hundred chips in the pot. Myria stared back at him wondering if he was bluffing. She gave her innocent look and politely threw ten of her chips into the pot.

The Flop: Ace Ace King

Ryu's Hand: Full House!

Ryu kept himself from smiling. This was going to be easy. He didn't want to scare her off though, perhaps just make her think she has a chance. He raised 20 more chips and threw them into the pot. Myria thought to herself for a moment before shrugging. She threw 20 chips into the pot.

Turn Card: Queen

Ryu could tell that Myria's eyes lit up. She was so easy to read. Ryu grinned again knowing she would now go in regardless of what he bet. He threw 40 chips into the pot. Myria stared intently into his eyes. He countered by flashing gold and turning into True Kaiser. A confident smile on his face. Myria's malevolent grin crossed her face as she threw 40 chips into the pot as well.

River: Queen

It was now or never. Ryu was going for broke. He pushed the rest of his chips into the pot. If he wasn't a silent protagonist he would've said 'all in'. Myria's grin turned sinister.

"The brood were always a careless breed," Myria said. "All in," She pushed her chips into the pot. The two flipped there cards.

Ryu: Ace King
Myria: Queen Queen
Ryu's Hand: Full House of Aces
Myria's Hand: Four of a kind Queens

Myria smirked. "As agreed," Ryu nodded his head and proceeded to get undressed.

Two days later

Ryu 3 remained in the arena, completely naked. His mouth continued to open and close. He was trying to say something. . .anything!

The bet was the loser had to create and recite a poem of why the victor was that much better than them, in their birthday suit.

Its such a shame Ryu can't speak.

Wow, he had done such a great job. And Ghaleon didn't even charge him, he said it would be worth the revenge alone.

Just a couple of weeeks after being released from custody due to lack of eivdence in connection to the murders of the people involved in the "Magical Girl Ghaleon" DVD Special Edition Box Set, he had received a late visit from an anonymous figure in a black robe with a tail, saying they know who's been secretly funding all of the videos that have been produced. Needless to say, they had his attention. About this time Ghaleon's phone rang, the figure told him to answer it, politely of course. Ghaleon greeted the director pleasently, and was suprised to be offered a job doing something for the DL so quickly. The robed figure encouraged him to take it with a nod, and discussions began as soon as Ghaleon hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, back at RPGDL HQ, Ryu and Myris have been summoned together to choose the stadium in which to have their epic battle. Myria being as cocky and cool as ever, just flat out offers RyuIII the choice, saying she he should choose where he suffers. Ryu, in a seemingly odd, sentimental moment, writes "Null Magic Hall" on the piece of paper sat down in front of him. The director gives him an odd look, and mutters something about that being odd, but he's only opposed to it because of the cost of having to have it either re-constructed to be large enough for their transforminative ablilities, or haveing to doing so magically, which would also be very expensive.

*4 hours later*

The director was about finished. He was tired of being laughed at. No one wanted to do it, at least, not for the amount of money that the struggling DL could offer. The only available construction workers were the DL Union, so there's no way that could be done on time. Oh well, he'll just set it up with the other arena tomorrow, he tells himself as he turns on his TV for the news. Where he discovers that Ghaleon had been released earlier that day for lack of evidence. Something about not enough of the bodies or areas remained to link him to the crimes. "What the hell", he told himself as he picked up the phone, for the most suprising call he's made in years...

"Hey Ghaleon! Congrats on your court victory!" Said the director. "I hope to see you around the DL again soon, old friend.....Yeah?! You wanna come back soon eh? Well, I know how you can! You just gotta do me one favor, and we can possbily even get you in next season, that is, unless you wanna train more! HA ha ha.....Well, I mean, yeah, we'd be paying you for this, but ehm, yeah....ok...sure, well, for this upcoming match, we need to enlarge the null magic arena....WHAT?!?!!?!? FREE!?? Are you serious? I mean!! Of course you are! Of course I'm grateful! Well, gotta go, thanks again friend!" The director quickly spouts as he practially hangs up on Ghaleon before he can change his mind.

*5 Days Later*

Myria couldn't believe it. He was stupid enough to choose an arena where he couldn't even use his healing magic. This was going to be quick, which was good, she had high noon tea time with Teepo in her garden today. It was good that Ghaleon had agreed to do the expansion of the arena, she knew he was powerful enough not to botch the job and create unexpected problems for her. He had done a good job too, looks just the same, only he may have made it too large...And then she understood why. Behemoth came lumbering, quick by it's standards, if you could call it so, through the door.

"Ha ha ha!" Myria laughed, still in her little girl form, "You're so scared you're actually going into the fight like that? I'm a little insulted though, I was hoping for Kaiser..."

"Grumphh...."

"Oh well, it's almost tea time, lets make this quick..." Myria said as she prepared to enter her Hyrda form. She concentrated on the transformation, and nothing happened! Quickly looking arond worriedly, as the behemoth slowly lumbered towards her, so quickly started heading off towards the edge, as she tried to change again. Something was VERY wrong here.

"... but you see, it serves her right in the end." Ghaleon says to Rei, who's too busy laughing to enjoy his popcorn. "Thanks for the info again, hopefully this will stop all those videos" he continues as Ryu is batting Myria around like a cat does a mouse. "You know, augmenting the arena's magic to not allow any transformations instead of all magic was suprisingly easy, but then again, I am Ghaleon."

Needless to say, we all know what happens when you put a beautiful blonde in front a very angry dragon with a lot of pent up agression.

Normally, single PC vs. final boss matches turn out very, very messily for the PC. After all, it takes the entire party to stand up to the blasted thing in the first place... and with only a third, maybe even less, of the party now against it, the odds are rather pathetic.

Well, that's the normal case. However, there's also a phenomenon called "single party gaming," where dedicated players pick their favorite character, and have that character brutally slaughter the others, then proceed through the entire remainder of the game by their lonesomes. Normally, these are a rather difficult challenge, testing the mettle of the player who attempts to go through it.

In Ryu's case, it actually makes things easier. Poor Myria.

And so Ryu comes face to face with Myria, alone, but how is he going to beat Myria alone? A tough question indeed. He went on a mission to collect swallow eyes, power foods, and proteins which he took to fairy villiage for duplication, after taking so many of these enhancers Ryu is feeling pretty good and powerful, and Myria the strongest entity in BoF? I think the Archmage would have something to say about that. But Ryu transforms into a kaiser, and can just withstand and deliver so much damage Myria falls.

to bad Ryu III I was so hoping to see the first 4 time godlike champion. I mean a feet never before done even big names like Sephiroth, Fou-Lu, Ghalleon have yet to succede

but alas the goddess Myria is in a class far above the shape shifting dragon after all even he can't solo her. Well maybe Myria will succede next season... unless we see the dramatic return of Sephiroth

Mario
Myria will win.
