Season 51, Week 3
Malik Benedict
(Wild Arms 3)
 
The molecularly speedy prophet is presented with a singular opportunity in this matchup. While her subsequent posession by malice is a flaw that must be overcome, Lady still represents the critical last phases of all Malik's research and studies; summoning a person's soul into a reanimated vessel. With proper study of his foe, Malik may gleam vital information that will ultimately lead to the fruition of his machinations, reunion with his beloved mother. Win or lose, this battle represents greater fortune than Malik could dare hope to find in a world ruled by war and death, and you can be sure he will do everything to gather every last scrap of information he can in this fight.

The deadly silence of the Malice Bringer meets yet another hapless victim in the arena. Having shredded many souls into oblivion with her astonishing powers, Lady's emotionless brutality will do much the same with the insane Prophet Malik Bendict. His cute little tricks are impressively worthless against her might: his physical immunity will be answered by her powerful Calamity Hexes and Malice Dirges, while Malik's Eliminate Scanner will, at best, manage to annoy Lady. With such a brutal difference in raw power and Malik's notoriously poor resilience, she will soon make him long for his dead mother even more as she tears his flesh in the maddening red slashes of the Malice.

Malik had no chance.

Lady's assault was brutal.

And then things got worse.

"...go on, finish me!" Malik muttered.

Crushed to the ground by a force of pure Malice, Malik's hopes were all crushed with him. He had no chance left to win.

"...Nah." Killer called out from the stands.

Lady smiled slightly.

"...what?" Malik mumbled.

"We agreed on this before. Lady kinda hates your guts. Like, really. Way the hell too creepy for her. So we agreed on this thing beforehand. She's kinda not good with words, so she had me do the talking. It's like an intervention, except I get to insult you the entire time." Killer said, with a shrug.

"So, let's start on the whole Oedipal complex and exactly why and how it's creepy. We'll get to the horrific monstrosity, egomaniacality and overall personality after." He finished.

Well, it had somewhat of an effect.

Ultimately, there was nothing illegal about someone taunting your opponent from the stands, let alone in a situation where you could probably be declared the winner if you asked, anyways.

And ultimately, Malik did indeed end up regretting his ways.

Mostly because several dozen people killed him in the weeks to follow. Evidently he'd slipped under the radar to some Duellers, who were rather revolted by Killer's list of Malik's personality flaws.

But did it do Malik much good?

Well, maybe acceptance that you have the flaws is something.

He was recently seen getting a beer with Emelious and Kuja.

Malik Benedict: 2
Lady: 36
