Season 41, Week 2
Wren
(Phantasy Star 4)
 
Operational systems optimized. Attack patterns calibrated. Targetting software fully functional. Regeneration chips ready to go. The master of Kuran Satelite is prepared to engage his newest assignment in the Duelling League, and his technical specs are more than upgraded enough to reassure the success of this mission. Against the Vile Tribe sorceress Xenobia, the battle android needs little more than apply his standard battle procedures: Xenobia's petrifying spells have no effect against Wren, and his heavily armored core, paired with Barrier's protective measures and Recover's top-of-the-line regenerative protocols, will fend off any assault the sluggish magess can muster against him. However, even one as durable as Xenobia may have problems slugging through the android's heavy artillery - including the dreaded Posibolt - in a more prolonged fight. As such, this should be no more difficult than your average surveillance mission. Chances of success: in the vicinity of 100%.

The Vile Tribe has long gone with meager recognitions in the Duelling League since the sisters Royce and Xenobia earned their place in Godlike, and they could never quite let this slide. The strongest of the dreaded witches of the forbidden land may have her work cut out for her in this new season, with multiple powerful and famous contestants engaging in battle, but she's hardly afraid of a robot! This android certainly lacks the full gear needed to take one of Ghaleon's most faithful servants - while Wren's armor is certainly sturdy, it's woefully ineffectual against magical assaults. Just what Xenobia's skills lend to perfectly! There is little issue if she can't petrify the bloodless doll right there and then, Wren's magical weakness combined with your average android's nigh-universal weakness to lightning means that Xenobia can cause hell with strategically applied Sonic Booms to the steel frame. The Vile Tribe will not be tainted in loss by a mere glorified puppet! Xenobia shall prevail!

It certainly was a suspucious sight. No, not the giant Phase Transfer cannon sitting outside the arena, looking brand new and with it's orginial owner not in anywhere in sight. No, it wasn't the deadly weapondry that dwarfed the power of nuclear bombs that made people step widely away- such power levels weren't uncommon in the highest division of the DL proper, nor was someone getting their shiny weapons reposessed when they proved to be too weak to hold onto it.

No, it wasn't that that made everyone step warily. It was the grinning Ninja Prince who sat perched on top of the cannon, waving to everyone who passed and who had quickly painted the world REVENGE on the side of the cannon's barrel. Everyone knew Edge's history with Ghaleon and his girls, and how long Edge could hold a grudge.

So did Wren, a coldly logical robot to the end. When Edge gracefully lept down to the floor before he entered the arena, he didn't ask any pesky questions about where the weapon came from, or why Edge was assisting him.

"How much?"

It turns out that advanced space-time weapons can be bought for the most reasonable price of 50 Meseta and a cold beer. Who knew?

*BOOM!*

Ah, the sweet sound of victory. Getting the old geezer Cid to look the other way while Wren blasted away at his ex girlfriend Xenobia with a blatantly illegal weapon hadn't taken much arm twisting. It was almost too easy.

The shriek of rage from Ghaleon and Royce, along with the sound of heavy footsteps rapidly approaching him brought Edge back to reality. Speaking of reality, if he didn't vacate the premise he was going to be really dead in .. oh.. 30 seconds?

One Smoke spell later and Edge vanished laughing. Staying out of trouble was so boring.

Wren: 39
Xenobia: 13
