Season 48, Week 3
Fred Maximilian
(Suikoden III)
 
Fred may not exactly have the mental capacity to know what makes a shadow-hunting robot like Aigis run, but this Maximillian Knight knows exactly what stops Aigis dead in her tracks. Fred's Sword of Thunder Rune attaches Lightning damage to his physical, knocking Aigis down with each strike and allowing Fred to attack yet again. Even if Aigis does get a turn, Fred’s near game-best evasion thanks to Shield Protect and his top-notch defense should make it nearly impossible for this robot to even scratch the coating of Fred’s armor.

That's one down and three to go for the Aigis, but this second match is promising to be a bit of a doozy. Aigis normally doesn't care for the extremely physically durable nor anyone with lighting damage, and the Maximillian Knight she faces now happens to be both at once. But that doesn't mean she's lost just yet. With the evade boost from Masukukaja and her deep reserves of full healing, the persona user can still manage to outlast her opponent, taking shots where she can and pulling out Orgia Mode for a finishing strike.

It had looked to everyone that Aigis had gone in with intents to forfeit--no gun equipped, with a strange bracer on the arm where it would be mounted. Everyone looked upon the match in confusion, as if either she had insulted Mitsuru or was suffering from a fatal error of sorts...

That changed as soon as the match started, whereas Aigis' arm--not her entire body, as is typical for Orgia mode--glowed with yellow energy...Fred, in total shock, had no opportunity to defend himself before he was kicked in the groin, and then pummeled into submission.

Citan sighed from the judges' box, marking a disqualification already. Jade Curtiss could only comment, "Well, she was at least creative..."

...the victory was short-lived for Aigis, however, as the world turned grey around her, and in Fred's place appeared a massive four-armed demon, which promptly proceeded to tear the robot apart. Immediately, to stop the menace, several combatants proceeded to attack the fiend...


The truly horrible thing about today, was that Axel not only got the final, killing blow on the beast...but the match recordings caught it all. And the League and everyone involved wouldn't stop hearing about it for ages...
