Season 36, Week 5
Rudolf Steiner
(Phantasy Star 2)
 
At long last, an opponent who might actually be worthy to fight a badass like Rudo. A fellow gunner who has respect for military traditions and devotion to duty. It's enough to warm Rudo's otherwise cold heart. Not enough to distract him from pummeling Mio into the dirt and collecting on an overdue upgrade, though! His overwhelming strength and size give him an advantage over Mio to start with, and no one in light can stand up to Rudo's energy gun for long. Grinding Mullen's underling into dust isn't the most gentlemanly thing to do, but he can always buy her dinner afterward with the prize money he'll get as a Light champion.

Her stun gun fully charged, her weapons perfectly calibrated, and her hair expertly conditioned, Mio is coming into this battle with all her guns blazing. And after she's dispatched three unfortunate Lights, another has the audacity to try to stand in the Garlyle general’s path? Luckily, as in her three previous battles, Mio’s paralysis inducing Stun Gun will work perfectly on Rudo, giving her ample opportunity to beat him to a pulp while he can’t even move a muscle. Certainly this glorious Light championship will catch Herr Mullen’s eye; after all, there’s no quicker way to grab attention than to leave a trail of defeated opponents wherever you go.

Mio is intelligent.

As such, she can recognize the ridiculous when she sees it.

Her run-really, any run, but this one in particular-has been ridiculous.

This match was certainly no exception.

The newest Light Champion stared blankly down at her fallen foe, and slowly shook her head, a completely baffled look on her face.

"Why. Why? Why are they all morons?"

"Yeah, I know how you feel. I mean, I couldn't stop from shooting the damned things! All that target practice...it was just second nature to me." Rudolf Steiner, in his bed next to Kahn, sighed. "They really should ban tricks like that."

"Hey, look on the bright side!" Kahn shouted encouragingly, from his nearby bed, as he still recovered from his previous match from Mio. "Maybe she'll send you some balloons, like she did me! Haha!"

As has been said before...tough men have really weird hobbies.
