Season 38, Week 1
Emelious de Pamela
(Grandia 3)
 
Emo is good. So good that the almighty Xorn, God of Emo, has sent his disciple, the emolicious Emelious, to fight in the arena and prove that happiness and love have no place in this world. Shiny happy people like Terra deserve to die, and Emelious is ready to do just that! Faster, tougher, stronger, and far, far more experienced at slashing and rending things (such as himself), Emelious will be nigh-impossible for Terra to stop. The Esper is slow, very prone to a speedy berserker like Emelious. With his deadly arsenal of skills such as Dimension Blade, Emelious can keep the pressure on the slower, frailer sorceress with reckless abandon. But this isn't even the greatest of her concerns - there's no way she'll be able to stop the wrath of God Killer once Emelious charges up his deity-slaying blow. The young esper has had much success so far... but no amount of peaceful, happy 16-bit story can stand up to the dark emoliciousness of those greatly in need of Prozac.

Terra has had many emotional struggles in her young life. She battled with her inner fears and doubts, but eventually vanquished all her phantoms. In short, Terra Branford grew up. Against maturity and inner strength, one whom embraces angst is small fry. This extends to all possible interpretations this week, for Terra takes on Emelious de Pamela, who will put the Esper's inner (and outer) fortitude to the test - however, she will prevail in many ways indeed; Drain will refuel Terra and keep her healed against Emelious' potent attacks, Fire 3 will scorch him and provide ample offense, and Ultima will wreck Emelious - just like the power of love torched both Emelious and his master Xorn. Coming from a mature heroine such as Terra, time's up for the angsty young swordsman. After all, it's always hopeful young people that wreck the plans of villains like Emelious, right? Emo can't stand up to a one-two punch of maturity and Ultima!

Now that Emelious is victorious, nothing can stop him! Terra is defeated at his feet! Once again the power of emo is victorious! So Emelious whined and laughed long and hard, revelling in his triumph. There was only one thing left to do.

Kneeling down, Emelious claimed the Minerva from Terra. It begins now, oh yes. "Soon, Ghaleon..."

Emelious de Pamela: 34

Who the hell is Emelious to claim to be the god of Emo? Terra found a piece of magicite before the match, it was the Saves the Day Magicite.

Chris Conley: "Who is it that summons me!?"

Terra: "I did! He over there say's he's the king of Emo"

Chris Conley: "Oh really? I come from the land of Emo espers, and we will defeat you! Do you know what Emo's even about?"

Emelious: Umm... being angsty and pretending to have problems that dont exist?

Chris: Hell no! You are a poser who probably doesnt care about the environment and is among the ignorant radio listening public. Hell I bet you like the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and they are in it just for the money."

Emelious: Shut up! I hate you!

Terra: Emo summon!

Guy Piccioto of Rites of Spring and Jeremy Enick (the pre-bible thumping bastard Enick) of Sunny Day Real Estate join forces for a super attack, whittling down Emelious's HP, and Atom from Atom and his package finished off Emelious with a metric attack.

Terra: Well (shruggs) Looks like I won afterall! Teehee!

Terra v. Emo Kid? Dear God. Fully-fledged, mature character v. someone so cardboard cut-out that Penelo from FFXII looks like a deep person next to him?

...What, is this week's theme " Obscenely Unbalanced Matches" or something?
