Season 49, Week 1
Rhapthorne
(Dragon Quest 8)
 
Rhapthorne is doing pretty well for himself. He's got his scepter of power, a big flying castle, an army of monster minions, a new XBox 360... yet something is missing. Ah, yes, that's it; success in Godlike. Today is his lucky day, though, as his opponent is best known for statusing out puny heroes. Rhapthorne's no PC, so what else could Kato possibly have? Well, he seems to have stolen the Imperial Regalia, but all Rhapthorne has to do is destroy one item to turn off Kato's combo attack. Kaboom! and Arm Smashes nicely attack everything and should blow up Kato's gear, leaving the Japanese sorcerer a deliciously impotent snack to Rhapthrone's superior offense. It's time for the maniacal villain to show the wimpy sympathetic antagonist where real power lies!

The height of civility and cunning, and, of course, magnificently cutting-edge chins, Masaji Kato is near the opposite of the blob-like, baby-eating Rhapthorne, a paragon of wimpy flesh-lings everywhere. Kato is determined to win this match to prove that intelligence is truly what makes the successful villain an actual success. Rhapthorne may be a powerful fighter, especially with his ability to double act, but if Kato can bring any of his support into the arena, he can unleash a devastatingly powerful combo attack that will even make the gruesome face of villainy cry dark tears. If not, Kato still has his own arsenal of powerful arcane spells that, against Rhapthorne's questionable durability, should shut the blob down quite firmly. Indeed, this season shall be Kato's!

"Hurry! We must expose the Vulnerabulb!" Kato bellowed, at the wheel of the FF Enterprise. "Ouka, FIRE!"

> Sniper Orb uses Mystical Revenge Gunner!
> DRK takes no damage!

"What is this witchery...?! HURRY! Set off the Time Explosion!" Kato cursed.

Yuri watched the match, munching on popcorn. Maxim gave him a quizzical stare. "Any reason why he's being allowed outside weapons?"

"Rhapthorne was allowed a boost as well. They're acting out a scene from a little adventure thing."

"Huh?"

"Still you will not yield, eh? Then taste... CHIN DIPLOMACY!" Kato bellowed in defiance.

>Kato's Chin deploys an array of 99 rockets!
>DRK takes no damage!

"...this makes no sense." Maxim mutters.

"See, both of them thought this would be fun. Sadly, Kato seems to have forgotten what Rhapthorne's weakness would be like this."

"What is it?"

"Candy. He can't be hurt unless his blood sugar gives him issues." Yuri confided.

"...and yet Rhapthorne's attempting to hit a flying airship that Kato can pilot insanely well." Maxim states.

"Yep."

"This match is gonna take forever, isn't it."

Yuri tilted the bag of popcorn to Maxim in mute reply. A slight sigh, before Maxim grabbed a handful.
