Ghaleon (Lunars) Ghaleon vs Lulu Lulu (FFX)

Lurking Registered User
KRAKOW!

"Oh, an excellent dodge! That's one hundred and eighty-nine points for Lulu! Just eleven more to go before she takes the championship, here at the 3rd annual Lightning-Dodging games!"

"Yah! That's right, Gordon! And this year's lightning is supplied by a generous donation from the Ghaleon foundation! Ghaleon: Dedicated to bringing you one-hundred percent all-natural lightning, with none of that machina stuff involved!"

KRAKOW! KRAKOW!

"Outstanding! Two more dodges by the Spiran wonder! So, Wakka, I hear there's an interesting story behind this match?"

"Yah, Gordon! My 'Lu is doin' this in lieu of a duel! She bet Ghaleon that no matter how many lightning bolts he threw at her, she could dodge all of it long enough to win this contest, yah? And if she did, he'd concede his Dueling League match, yah? Of course, he didn't think about all the practice she got earning her Onion Knight!"

"I see... Well, you're seeing it first here, folks! A mage's duel unlike any other, here at the third annu- WHAT THE?!?"

*RUMBLE RUMBLE* *CRUNCH!*

"My GOD! A freak rock slide has just smashed into our contestant! She's been knocked completely out! No, wait! I think I see her arm twitching! She may still be in the runnin-"

KRAKOW! KRAKOW! KRAKOWKRAKOWKRAKOW!

"Ooh! She failed to dodge *those*... Lulu has ended with a total score of one hundred and ninety-one points, still not enough to beat 'Crab Legs' Lang's score of two hundred straight dodges! Lang is our new champion!"

KRAKOWKRAKOWKRAKOWKRAKOWKRAKOW!!!!

"WHAAAA?!?! You can't tell me that's legal, Gordon!?"

KRAKAKAKAKAKAKAKOW!!!!!!! KRAKOW!

"Sorry, Wakka, but there's nothing in the rules against it... Take solace in the fact that, at least in my eyes, she is a true... DEFENDER OF EARTH!"

KRAKOW!

"Yah, whatever. Could you at least get Ghaleon to stop hitting her?"

Ghaleon: 70
Lulu: 21

Orson Carola
There is only one thing to say about this Godlike, and that is Ghaleon is really happy to -finally- get revenge against TimeLord for the Magical Girl Ghaleon event. NOTHING will stand in the Magic Emperor's path as he will mow down anyone in order to fight TimeLord again. Lulu doesn't mean a thing to him.

Eat Fate Storm Lulu.

Barubary
Ahhhh the magic emperor... fights some sort of... uhhh mage or so he thinks I mean he doesn't really notcie after some heavy debat as to how the magic emperor Ghaleon wants to go at this

The first thought was a simple Fate storm would leave nothing more then a bloody mess all over the floor... but Ghaleon didn't want to get his cool looking armor all wet

After that he thought well maybe I could have a magic Duel I mean I'd win but still the crowd would enjoy it after all the crowd on my side gives me the whole thing

Then he decided nah he didn't want to degrade himself fighting Lulu so he simply decided to pull out his big sword and slice her in half... after all Lulu never could take a good sword




Ness (EB) Ness vs Kratos Aurion Kratos Aurion (ToS)

Meeplelard
Ah, Kratos. A strong, near invincible warrior, one who can only be beaten by a young boy barely in his teens, when it comes to a duel...

...oh wait, isn't that exactly what he's fightning now? Sorry Kratos.

Ness: 37
Kratos Aurion: 27


Miguel (CC) Miguel vs Deamoned Deamoned (BoF5)

superaielman
Miguel and Ned in a duel to the death. The Duelling League universe may stretch reality as far and it goes and then some (Zidane's even won a fight), but it's a crusty old man named Miguel and and an evil more crustier old man nicknamed Ned battling. That doesn't seem right.

That's how the two found themselves peacefully fishing on a secluded coast off of Gant, with the winner being the person who catches the biggest fish. Despite never having fished before or having seen a lake in his life, Ned managed to get a fine array of fish. Miguel, using creative use of his elemental magics and a rather strong rod, caught the entire city-state of Prima.

Not only did Miguel win by virtue of sheer volume, but he managed to buy a brand new pair of glasses for half off. Who'd have thunk?

Miguel: 29
Deamoned: 28


Genevieve (VP1) Genevieve vs TimeLord TimeLord (Saga)

superaielman
Speed is the key to everything to the TimeLord. He has to be fast in winning the fight, and even faster in escaping the arena- Ghaleon's not going to wait for the semis to get a hold of him. Thus he had to be prepared. Coming into the fight with seven flasks of Mithra's Holy Water and showing them to Genevieve might have been a little on the cruel side, but it was enough to get her to flee the arena, screaming at the top of her lungs.

Wasting an OverDrive to flee the arena and head back to the safety of his realm was a touch on the flashy side, but you can never be too sure with a rampaging Magic Emperor on the loose.

Genevieve: 22
TimeLord: 42




Anastasia Valeria (WA2) Anastasia Valeria vs Ramsus, Kahran Ramsus, Kahran (XG)

SnowFire
First Fei, then Sofia, and now Anastasia. Why does Ramsus keep picking fights with chosen heroes? I mean, sure, aim high and all, but really, there are more realistic targets. Maybe he should try Randi next. At least as long as a lvl.8 charged attack doesn't kill him through the Mirror Stance...

Anastasia Valeria: 52
Ramsus, Kahran: 15


Zed (WA) Zed vs Yuffie Kisaragi Yuffie Kisaragi (FF7)

Lurking Registered User
A scarf, blowing in the wind...

Yoink!

Zed, predictably, was somewhat flustered. "Hey! Give that back! If you don't, I, Zed, Quarter Knight in training, shall sweep you aside like so many scrubbing bubbles of vengeance!"

Yuffie was unimpressed.

That is, until Zed used Garyu Ichimongiri a couple of times. Then the young ninja was 'impressed' quite nicely into several pieces.

Unfortunately, Zed still needs a new scarf. Even with the scrubbing bubbles of club soda, he could never get all of Yuffie's blood out of it.

Zed: 53
Yuffie Kisaragi: 30

maelstorm_ff@hotmail.com
This match is a test of speed, but something else brewed.

While the two whacked each other at blindlingly fast speeds, Smoke -- the cyborg assassin who likes to chuck stuff from anyone possible -- "yoinked" the two's equipment without them noticing -- and then disappeared like a candle in the wind.

Zed was furious at the loss of his beloved blade, and Yuffie set that loss as an opportunity to cast All Creation. Boom.




Nash Latkje (S3) Nash Latkje vs Dart Dart (LoD)

Scar
Down below the arena, another super secret member’s only meeting in an undisclosed area was being held. The dark room was filled with negative nancies.

“Curses!”

“We need to come back strong. Those vile fiends ruined out headquarters, but if we want our name back in the spotlight….” The talkative one motioned towards a screen on the wall, “then we need a scapegoat.”

The screen turned on, and as the monitor lit up the dark room and the image was displayed, the people in the room all let out a sinister laugh. “Clovis!”

“His spilled blood will mark the return of the glorious LoRD!”

“……?”

“Was that what our name was?”

Meanwhile…

In the locker room of champions, a young Nash Latkje was getting ready for his return into the Dueling League. It had been quite some time since out triumphant hero had stepped into the arena, but as smooth as a baby’s bottom, Nash was calm, and calculated. Another blonde haired warrior stood in his way. This time, it was in the form of a sword wielding, dragon knight, and a color coordinated pyromaniac. Nothing Nash hadn’t encountered before.

Childs play…

Or was it foul play? Unbeknownst to him, a diabolical scheme of astronomical proportions was being woven for his quick and utter demise. And his wife wasn’t involved! Where is the justice!

Dart was waiting eagerly for Nash’s arrival. The smile on Dart’s face was clear as day. All he had to do was give the signal and the match would be over. “Hey, there, lover boy, get ready for a pounding!”

“Who? Me? You are hardly my type, you know?”

“ARGH! That’s not what I meant! Get ready to feel the wrath of the dragoon’s scorn!” Dart then whistled a loud pitch that rung out over the arena and into the crowd. Seconds passed and nothing came of Dart’s little act. Nash seemed unimpressed.

“Are you finished goofing around? My irritable mistress is waiting for me, and I dare not keep her waiting. I’d like to wrap this up as soon as possible.” As Dart looked all around for whatever it was he signaled for, Nash withdrew his devilish weapons and advanced on the clueless Dragoon.

Dragon transformations are nice and all, but the wrath of a berserker who won’t wait for the transformation to complete is just plain entertaining.

~

Meanwhile…

Underneath a pile of rubble, a group of foiled dragoons began to pick themselves up from a sound beating. “W-what happened? One second we were on our way to help Dart out and the next….”

Kain sat in the stands with his head buried deep within his hands. “ *Sigh* ”

“Foiled again! But, by who? Who could take on a legion of super strong dragon knights so effortlessly and so quickly?”

The Dragoons weren’t the only ones with people in high places. As Nash walked away from the twitching Dart, he looked into the crowd and gave a thumbs up targeted toward one individual with a great and manly beard. It was well received and an even greater and manlier thumbs up was sent back at Nash. “Thank you, Chuck Norris!”

Nash Latkje: 40
Dart: 26

OH MY GOD, THE GAY JOKES.




Kyra Tierny (PS4) Kyra Tierny vs Steiner, Adelbert Steiner, Adelbert (FF9)

jaymthegenius@yahoo.com
Kyra has a locked advantage, 1,000 years after Rolf and friends defeated the Earth migrants who introduced Mother Brain came the Profound Darkness, which Kyra helped defeat. With healing and superior speed + knowledge far advanced past Stiener she'll take this one home a little too easily. Steiners not the brightest bulb in the pack, it's best for him to just give up.

Kyra Tierny: 44
Steiner, Adelbert: 31




Thursday (Disgaea) Thursday vs Ziggy Ziggy (XS)

Lurking Registered User
"BEEP. BEEP. ALERT!! ALERT!! ZIGGY IS STARING AT KOS-MOS' THIGHS! PERVERT! PERVERT!"

"Wait, what? I didn't!" tried to explain an uncharacteristically flustered Ziggy to a crowd of warriors who had become quite intolerant of perverts since their initial inductions into the RPGDL. Thursday used the opportunity to use a Bandit Hand to steal Ziggy's equipment.

Or would have, if the super robot hadn't realised a few basic strategic errors on its own part.

1) Thursday had left most of its armor off, intending to equip Ziggy's after stealing it. It would have made for a colorful win.

2) There was no base panel in the arena, so Thursday wouold be unable to change equipment once it stole some.

3) Thursday was unarmored against a cyborg it had just thoroughly pissed off.

So Thursday, ever adaptable, changed plans when it saw a new path to victory open before its... sensors.

Thursay reached out, and stole Ziggy's Heart.

Too bad all it really did was get Thursday +4 RES before Ziggy turned around and began smashing the poor robot...

Thursday: 15
Ziggy: 57

Browbeat
Although Thursday has a variety of ballistic attacks, Ziggy is a veritable mountain. "This battle was over before it even began..."




Miakis (S5) Miakis vs Eleni Dunbar Eleni Dunbar (VH)

superaielman
Miakis was overjoyed. Prince had come to the arena to watch her fight, and was even yelling and leading the crowd on her behalf! Better, the normally shy young man was approaching her, with an innocent smile on his face.

"Miakis! Miakis! Let me give you a good luck hug. It'll be just the thing you need!" Without another word, the Prince leaped into Miakis's arms, and hugged for all of his worth. "..Ooh.. prince.. you're friendly today. Your hands shouldn't go there, hehe!"

Miakis seperated slightly from from the Prince to get a better look at her foe, and saw.. another prince! Miakis looked closely at the prince who had just given her a hug. A few stray wisps of blonde hair flew out from underneith, and he possessed a pair of razor sharp daggers instead of the normal Tri-Nuchucku. With a quick knee to the groin, Miakis dropped the erstwhile fake Prince to the ground, leaving him whimpering. Georg, Prince, and Lyon all approached Miakis with a puzzled look?

"Who's that?" The puzzlement and anger in Miakis's tone was obvious enough. Following it up with a well placed kick to the face to the "Prince", she looked to see if her friends had any idea who this was.

Georg spoke up quickly. "Aaah, I know him. Zidane Tribal. Filthy pervert and known troublemaker throughout the DL. You weren't warned about him, I see. There's but one way to deal with scum like him." Giving a sharp nod to the real Prince, Georg drew his sword and pointed down at Zidane. "You go deal with Eleni. This punk is ours."

"Why...why that! Oooooooooooh!" Miakis began glowing a bright red, and drew her weapons and charged at Eleni, bloodlust in her eyes. The hideous screams of pain of Zidane's were soon matched by Eleni's lesser screams.

A berserked Miakis is -not- something that any Middle wants to fight.

Miakis: 31
Eleni Dunbar: 21

Miakis' healing will be MORE PLENTIFUL if equipped with the Magic Absorb Rune. Period.




Neimi (FE8) Neimi vs Philia Felice Philia Felice (ToD)

Taishyr
Philia and Neimi stood facing each other in the arena. Neimi's face was set in a hard, determined line, while Philia was practically smirking, an odd emotion to see on her face. Cloud, the judge of the match, looked at the two. "Ready, ladies? Then fight!"

Lightning rained from the sky. Arrows flew, Philia's blade flashed through the air. In the end, Philia was left kneeling before Neimi. Neimi strolled up to Philia, allowing the smallest of a smile to grace her lips. "Good match, miss Philia, but..."

Philia raised her head and whispered something to Neimi. The pink-haired girl let out a scream and ran out of the arena, crying. Smiling, Philia stood and accepted the ring-out victory from a now rather confused Cloud.


"I can't believe that worked!" Philia said happily as she relaxed in the inn. The rest of the cast looked at her in pure confusion. "What... did you do, there, Philia?" Stahn finally asked. Philia grinned at him and then looked up at the ceiling.

"I told Neimi that Colm badly needed her help and that he was suffering greatly, and that she should hurry back to her room to help him."

"...so you lied." Stahn said flatly.

"Weee-eeeell... not -exactly-." Philia grinned before pulling a pouch of money out of her pocket. "Colm hadn't seen Neimi for a while, and was, ah.... shall we say, eager, to see her again. He even paid me to get her back to him..."

The cast flinched as a loud set of banging sounds followed by groans emanated from the ceiling above them. Rutee looked up, then looked at Philia. "Ah. That sort of help..."

Neimi: 24
Philia Felice: 27


Aika (SoA) Aika vs Dekar Dekar (Lufia2)

SageAcrin
Aika trained so hard, too.

All the punishing blows she took.

All the hard, long days of training, all the pills and all the hard work...

Yet, sadly, she could never beat Dekar at his own game.

As she fell to the ground, she realized she just wasn't good enough.

No matter how stupid she became, she could never be as dumb as "Too Stupid To Lose" Dekar.

On the upside, she now thinks that 2+2=Purple and does basically anything Vyse says, at least until the healers complete the restoration of her brain, so hey, someone comes out ahead.

Aika: 21
Dekar: 41




Reis Dular (FFT) Reis Dular vs Palmer Palmer (FF7)

Lurking Registered User
Did you know that Reis, despite growing up in a medieval fantasy world, is also a competent truck driver?

Well, she isn't. But being run over by the Divine Dragon -conveniently Tamed by Reis before the match- hurts even more.

Reis Dular: 70
Palmer: 21

maelstorm_ff@hotmail.com
Reis has to let go of her dragon skills to formulate an effective strategy against Palmer.

And that is driving a big bad truck straight into the arena.

The fat tub o' lard ran away upon seeing the object of his new-found trauma.




Mariel (WA:ACF) Mariel vs Koichi Koichi (S3)

Sei
犬ジラ
DOGZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS

A Puny dog with Puny stats with no skills, a Punier girl with Punier stats but the healing of the gods, a once in a lifetime chance to get an official DL win. With will, determination, and cuteness so high, this battle promised to be a once-ina-a-lifetime classic!

At least, that's what it looked like on the first six days. Thanks to the unimaginably low damage values of both duelists, the match was now looking to be a liability. After all, these things are supposed to be a weekly affair, and schedules are going to be pushed back if one of the arena is tied up for a week.

So, the powers-that-be decided to speed things up a bit and released a radiation cloud above the arena.

Seemed like a simple plan. Let radiation poisoning slowly kill off both duelists and announce the last person standing as winner. There shouldn't be any complications, right? Right?

"Umm... Are you all right?" Mariel asked Koichi...

...who was now frothing at his mouth, standing on his two feet, shedding his fur, and looking a bit scaly under the collar.

Oh, and was growing bigger and bigger with each passing second until he stood as tall as the Xenogears dimension's Babel Tower.

"Rar!" Koichi roared.

"Eek!" The crowd screamed.

"Raaar!" Koichi roared again, this time belching a blast of radioactive breath.

"Eeeek!" The crowd screamed again, shortly before getting vaporized.

In the audience seats, a woman wearing a blue dress, black cycling shorts, and whose name rhymed with 'Inoa, shrieked "Aiiiiiie! Dogzilla!" promptly before getting stepped on and crushed into a messy, bloody paste.

Koichi roared proudly into the skies as he stepped out of the arena and into the city proper. Cars, Chocobos, and Tanks that couldn't get out of the way were crushed mercilessly under his paws! Tall buildings like the Shinra tower were no match for his mighty strength! Elite police and military troops are sent to the site, unloading the best of the League's technological and thaumatological weaponry at the lumbering dog-lizard, but like Operation Mi'ihen, their efforts were futile as they were easily crushed! Both heroic and villainous Godlikes launched their entire arsenal at the monster to no avail! Zophar's Fate Storm was overwhelmed by Koichi's Atomic Breath! The combined force of Ghaleon and Belial's Chaos Shield and Distortion was no match to a good old stomping! The Kaiser Dragon and Anima were just slapped away! Unrankable superbosses were called in to help, but even they could do nothing to the beast!

The destruction Koichi wrought was both terrible and absolute. The entire League was helpless before his fury, and there was nothing that could stop him. Finally, the monster seemed to have grown bored with rampage, and he silently returned to the sea as all giant lizard are wont to do, paying little mind to the mayhem he had brought.

And in the quiet that came after that unimaginable nightmare, a tiny voice spoke...

"So... did I win? I mean, Koichi walked out of the ring..."

Mariel: 34
Koichi: 25

DjinnandTonic
Mariel glitches the game and pulls off an accidental Hadouken on the defenseless puppy.

Let's all have a moment of silence.

A doggie won't leave his comrades (in this case, for the bonus match), right? Mariel wins by default.




Josephine (S5) Josephine vs Evil Gaia Evil Gaia (G1)

There is one important message that can be learned from this fight:
Beauty and Power have absolutly no correllation at all, despite Flea's philosophy on life and how many bishies there are in Godlike.

Josephine: 23
Evil Gaia: 32


Kenji (S3) Kenji vs Poshul Poshul (CC)

superaielman
Gym teachers. The worst fear of everyone who's too small and weak to complete with the big boys. They constantly push weaklings around and force them to engaged in physical activties they don't want to do. Every frail child's worst nightmare is that horrible spandex outfit, complete with a shrill whistle.

Lexis leveling Kenji with a triple strength blast of the cream cannon should thustly be no surprise.

What was a surprise was Emma fawning and hitting on Lexis after the match, even so far as offering to give him a one of a kind great booster.. in private, of course.

Poshul slept through the whole thing of course, dreaming of Sergie-poo giving her endless Heckran bones.

Kenji: 24
Poshul: 43

Starphoenix das Helpoemer
Have I ever mentioned how much Kenji fails at life?

No? Well, if you ever take a look at him, you can tell his vocation in life has done little for his physique. When you do a lot of running, you usually lose a little weight... whereas Kenji still look chunky.

So, I refrain from making any certain decisions about the match and will go about lighting myself on fire at the prospect of this match.

*Loses some faith in the world of RPG's... again*

Blanca, probably the smartest of the eight, was a little surprised at how easily Leopold was taken down, but he wrote it off as an effect of the Canine Warriors' unstoppable strength. It wasn't until later that he learned that Leopold threw the fight for a tidy percentage of Marcello's winnings, which were considerable given his bet against Leopold with Ramus, who was sure that the helldog would walk away with it. Dogfights aren't about winning or losing. They're all about the money.

Silverlocke980
Actually, good wins, because 1.) Evil can't keep its head on straight for five seconds at a time (case in point? Kefka!), and 2.) All the Power Rangers, Justice League, and other crap we force our children to watch proves that uniting enough people together can beat anything.

Zerg tactics, away!

maelstorm_ff@hotmail.com
The doggies are lucky that they're in Budehuc Castle, not in Baguio, Philippines.

Because in Baguio, doggies are butchered to be sold as meat.

Sir Leopold, beware. You'll not only catch rabies.

Why do I feel a sudden urge to watch Ronin Warriors after the Bonus?
