Season 40, Week 1
Zophar
(Lunar 2: Eternal Blue)
 
The Destroyer of the Blue Star has overwhelmed Godlike once more, dethroning Fou-Lu and other prominent Godlikes to secure his rightful spot at the top of the heap! Of course, two championships aren't enough for Zophar. And though Diekbeck may have access to the same effective Invincible that makes Elc, Arc and the rest of those Arc the Lad pansies such annoying people to fight, Diekbeck still doesn't have the punch to stop Zophar from dominating the little robot in one fell swoop. The fast, debilitating Rainbow Ball will be more than enough to prevent Diek from getting a chance to use Invincible at all, allowing Zophar to finish him off at his leisure. Nothing too hard for the ultimate Godlike in the league - after all, this is only a warm-up for the big game.

Beep beep. Super robot warrior Diekbeck finally gets into the Godlike mix again…and again goes up right against a defending champion - and one of the highest-ranked fighters in the league, no less. What kind of bad luck is this? Of course, Diekbeck isn’t going to give up easily. The same mindless robotic determination that got him upgraded to Godlike can net him a win against one of its strongest denizens. With his great HP and lightning quick speed, Diekbeck is sure to get a turn; if he does, the evil combo of Invincible+Divide can slowly whittle away Zophar’s vitality until even a puny Diekbeck physical can take him out. It won’t be an easy match, but Diekbeck has both the skills and the motivation to send the Destroyer running with his tail between his legs.

"Zophar, we would like to test a confidential new magic in your next match. Please contact us. Sincerely, Millenia, Jessica, Celine and Chris Lightfellow."

Zophar frowned. Chris, asking Zophar for a favor? Two grand nemesis, working together? This was unprecedented. Still, there was never a bad time to bury the hatchet. Shrugging, he composed an adequately evil response and sent it off.


Zophar and Diekbeck each advanced into the arena slowly. Ness nodded to both contestants solemnly, and then hit the gong with his yo-yo.

And it rained lipstick, nail polish and hair ties.

As Diekbeck looked around in bewilderment, Zophar shrugged and cast a simple spell on the robot.

Who proceeded to blow up in a spectacular explosion, detonating half the arena in a spectacular display of fireworks. Zophar frowned, but then simply turned and left, leaving the mess to the rest of the people there.


"Okay. So what did that spell do?" Zophar said, glaring down at the four grinning women. "I want answers."

"Oh, it's a simple but potent spell. Chris' Silent Lake, modified with the help of us three here. It creates, in effect, a Field of Femininity." Jessica smiled widely.

"And...? That fails to explain the massive explosion." Zophar thundered.

"Well, of course, underneath the Field of Femininity, any side without Diek wins against any side with Diek. Silent Lake." Chris added almost as an afterthought. "Let's get to work, ladies."

And as the four advanced, weapons prepared, all Zophar did was stare, furiously. Why not? It was all he could do...

Zophar: 31
Diekbeck: 12
