Quality vs. Quantity: NDF style!
~Meeplelard

It was a rather typical day at the headquarters of the ever infamous Norgard Defense Force. Having won their first actual victory not long ago against Graham Cray and Kooluk, having gained a powerful ally in the Black Knight, and two less powerful allies in Alonso and Gares...

...you know what? This has nothing to do with anything. Let's just cut to the chase.

"Wait, you mean that OTHER guy in big black armor is Vaynard's favorite now?" shouted Gares, one of the new recruits, and Vaynard's latest officer.

"Yeah! It used to be me, but then that guy comes up, and pretends he's so awesome cause he can take down an half an army with one slash of his sword, not to mention completely turn the tide of a battle, and he steals the spot!" Duran responded.

Yes, that's right; even Vaynard was forced to acknowledge that the Black Knight was in fact a strong and competent ally, and played a bigger role than Duran in their victory against Kooluk (to the extent that the word "victory" and referring to the NDF in any positive way is still weird...) No one knows why the Black Knight stayed around after that battle either... one can only assume it was pity that even he couldn't ignore.

"Well, I bet you anything that he staged that whole act against Kooluk just to get in this army!" Alonso yelled.

"...you know what? You're right! There's no way he's that strong! I bet you I could beat him easily!" Duran replied.

"You mean the same way he knocked you half a mile across the battlefield in one slash and onto a rock, cracking your spine in ways that only you could miraculously recover from?" said Wren Mk 3, who, unfortunately, had to listen in on the whole riotous conversation.

"...shut up! Nobody asked you! Go back to analyzing... whatever it is you do!" Duran screamed.

"Transforming into jets, mostly. I was merely suggesting that you alone are probably not enough to beat him if you wish to challenge him to a 'friendly' duel. My data further suggests that he was going easy on you."

"In that case, I shall join Duran in his conquest to reveal the truth behind this impostor!" Gares shouted, grabbing his axe.

"Hey, count me in! This should be fun picking on the boss's favorite! If we win, surely Vaynard'll acknowledge how strong we are and give us raises on our salary!" Alonso stated.

...of course, little does Alonso realize that Vaynard doesn't actually pay them anything. Of course, Gares and Duran failed to recognize this factor either, so naturally, they just shouted in excitement about this.

"But it can't hurt to have a little... insurance. Do we have any back up plans?" Alonso stated, bringing his voice lower for the first time in the entire conversation.

Duran ignored this and continued yelling. "I have just the person! We'll ask my Fairy for her strategic brilliance and she'll tell us exactly how to take him down! With our combined powers and her battle genius to rival the Silverbergs, we cannot lose!"

"Yes! LET THIS DAY BE KNOWN TO THE ENTIRE NORGARD DEFENSE FORCE!" Gares exclaimed.

And off the trio went. Wren, having been forced to witness the whole sorry thing, suddenly realized that he can in fact feel emotions that he was never programmed to...

That being the emotion of sheer and utter disbelief, given that that level of stupidity doesn't even register.

-----

Somewhere else in the castle, the Black Knight sneezed. Given he was certain he didn't have a cold, he knew SOMETHING unexpected was going to happen and it was inevitably going to involve him.

And indeed, something was about to occur!

However, the actual preliminary section leading up the fight are... uhh... safer left unknown for the sanity of all those reading this. So we'll just cut to the actual battle...

WHO WILL WIN THIS BATTLE OF... uhh... MIGHTY (?) WARRIORS!!!?!

  • The Black Knight of Daien. What kind of outcome did you expect?
  • The laws of all things natural are defied. The trio somehow pulls through with sheer luck and... uh... DETERMINATION? Yes, that's it.
  • Vaynard intervenes in this little fracas among the troops to take charge himself! Or at least to try.

It is written, only Ragnell and Laguz Kings can defeat the Black Knight.

Yeah... good luck beating somebody who ignores all of your defense and hits you for 5 times damage, WHILE shooting LAZ0RZ from a distance... <_<


Black Knight: 20
Gares and co: 9
Vaynard: 10

Unfortunately, due to a rather unorthodox database error out of my control, results has been, sadly, lost for the team match.

No, you don't have to worry about that happening again; It's an obscure bug.

On behalf of the Duelling League site, I apologize to everyone that wished to see how that one ended up. ._. Here's the comments that were sent in for it.

"So, tell me again." Ghaleon asked curiously. "Are we going to have this match?"

"I don't know. They seem to be having so much fun." Lenneth noted.

The two teams did indeed seem to be having a blast. Earthquakes, firestorms, waves of the darkest destruction, frigid terrors and electric death swarmed the arena, intermixed with the occasional healing magic.

"I still don't really understand why Odin mooned them before the match even started, though." Ghaleon mused.

"He was really, really wasted." Chisato answered simply, munching popcorn.

"Why did you slap the blotter of LSD on him?" Gilgamesh asked.

"...You have to ask?" "Right." Gilgamesh shrugged repeatedly.

And so, they were so damned busy killing Odin that...well... the match never really got underway.

It's a pity, but hey, it's not like anyone actually cared, is it?

Who needs team mates when all you have lady's shield?

Loki once again use the orb which does little if any damage to Lady's shield and killer and her once again goes on several world destruction rampage and Lenneth on the verge of sanity went crazy and in addition to re-creating said worlds also creates new world filled with Suikoscrubs, NDF-losers and Justin like idiots.

It took weeks to calm her down (Or more likely a combined efforts of Yuri, T.G. Cid, Edge, Lexis, three new RPG comer; Beyond-The-Grave (Chaos Wars), Hiro (Chaos Wars) and Hyoma (Chaos wars) to pound her to the ground).

Actually what they did was send her to Asgard's mental sanatorium because she looks like a crazed maniac than a kind goddess.

As for Loki, well he now goes on a self training trip to improve his non-dragon orb skills. He needs it after this incident.
