Season 46, Week 4
Jude Maverick
(Wild ARMs 4)
 
Ready, set, GO! The Accelerator takes his stride and is closer and closer to the home stretch! While his opponent is a sweet Realian who heavily reminds Jude of his friend Yulie, such a likeness can't slow him down. With his blistering speed and lightning-quick draw power, the boy from Ciel will get past MOMO's strange tricks. Her confusion attacks will be useless: a Clear Chime will prevent those from working at all. The slowing could be problematic, but Jude's initially vast speed edge and his Rapid Attacks will mitigate that. And, worst comes to worst, a well-placed Assault Buster will end it all, with MOMO being about as frail as a little girl would be. The arena isn't a kind place for kids, but Jude just has to show what it takes to make do in the battlefield!

Jude is a bonafide quickdraw artist, thriving on his ability to get the jump on his foes and Assault Buster them into submission before they know what hit them. Unlike everyone else he's faced this season, however, the reconaissance Realian MOMO is no slouch on speed herself. He might be able to snap off a popshot, but after that, MOMO is more than capable of bewildering him with her skillfully employed staff skills and leaving him too dazed to fire off the followup Assault Buster. After that, a little healing, a magical transformation here and there, paired alongside a few more staff beats will put the speedy little guy in his place and secure MOMO's place in the finals. Whew! These days, MOMO might wonder if she's not doing more fighting than a combat Realian.

Jude and Jr. MOMO and Yulie. Lookalikes and actalikes. At least, that was Albedo's master plan was based on. While Yulie and MOMO *may* look alike, there is one difference- Yulie, for all of her shyness, is a little more proactive about protecting herself. When Albedo saw his new Ma peche, he didn't stop to think about differences like. He went on a charm offensive, trying to get close to Yulie and apply the charm.


Yulie happened to be with Raquel, Gawn, Arnaud, and Kresnik, all of whom were escorting Jude to the ring. The results were as gruesome and horrifying as everyone expected- in a good way for the Wild ARMs cast members, who had been warned ahead of time about Albedo- and in a bad way for Albedo, who thought he could easily overcome a few normal humans to reach the apple of his eye. No one in the wild melee noticed a little extra gunfire and Jude vanishing, they were too busy seeing how many times they could make Albedo regenerate vitally important body parts within a 30 second span.

When 'Jude' came to the ring, the judges were a little suspucious- after all, didn't he normally use a shapeshifter gun? But as noted UOM Adray said, who could tell those damned kids apart anyway? Jude had red hair and a gun, this kid had red hair and a gun. Good enough. And if the 'fight' only lasted a second as MOMO tapped him once to beat him.. well, again, who cares? As noted mental giant Bart said, it was half off at Juli's bar and grill tonight for all middle judges, and her smoked salmon was excellent.
