Yuna (FFX) Yuna vs Jenna Angel Jenna Angel (DDS)

superaielman
Yuna and Jenna. Both had been on the warpath in Godlike this season, wiping out competition left and right. Would this clash of Godlike's strongest humanoid females end in a bloody battle, with Yuna's Aeons desperately trying to outlast the killing power of Hari-Hara?


"...A ninja abusing contest? The idea sounds WONDERFUL!" The refs were most supportive of Jenna's suggestion for the way to peacefully resolve the question of who was strongest. Yuna, a peaceful soul, cheerfully went along in an attempt to avoid needless bloodshed.

The refs were so overjoyed by the suggestion that they all agreed to go fetch a Ninja for the event themselves. Between Ghaleon, Piastol, Orlandu and Zeromus, there was enough firepower to drag down even the mightest of ninjas. It was not going to be a good day for Edge.

----

Edge was in a good mood. He had finally gotten out of the hospital after the most brutal beating he got for starting the riot right after Jenna's win over. Cecil and Kain were guarding him on his way out, and Yuri had promised to escort him back safely to his rooms could he could finish healing without a good dozen or so of his enemies coming after him. Even better, the Godslayer had promised Edge a cold beer or three for his efforts... huh? Edge heard the sounds of combat near the hospital exit. Wasting no time, he drew a single Katana and jogged towards the sounds of combat with Kain and Cecil at his back. At the entrance to the hospital stood Yuri Hyuga, in the full glory of his Seraphic Radiance form. He was struggling against what looked like a cage of fire, futiley trying to escape the fiery prison he was stuck in. Wait. Fiery prison??!

Xenobia and Royce were standing in what looked like a slaughterhouse. Edge gulped. He could see Cid and Lexis on the ground, out cold from what looked like sword wounds. The Timelord was pinned neatly against the wall by Excalibur. He was still up though- and his eyes widened in terror -and then glazed over as Orlandu finished off the Mystic with a single punch. Yuri was definitely of no aid here. The sound of armor hitting the floor made Edge spin around on his heels.

Ghaleon walked over Kain and Cecil's bodies without so much as a second look. Fate Storm left the Baronites looking peaceful, though it was the peace of death. An extremely strong hand clamped down on Edge's mouth, preventing him from preparing a quick exit with Smoke. Piastol knocked Edge out with a single punch. Lifting Edge over her shoulder was as easy could be- the battered prince didn't have any armor weighed less than her scythe.

---
The rules were simple. Each side got one attack to inflict as much damage as possible on Edge. The Ninja was fetched, healed, and tied down. Jenna had the champion's right to go first, which she did. Her method of abuse was the Almighty aligned Bhavaria spell. One shot of it blasted Edge with enough force to kill him twice over. Only a small army of white mages hired just for this fight kept Edge alive and aware of his surroundings. Indeed, Jenna's single blast had been mighty. Edge was obviously in tremendous pain from the attack and even with the extensive healing spells piled upon him, in no shape to do much of anything for the near future. But the attack had elicted nothing from Edge gut a macho glare and an under the breath muttering about revenge.


Yuna wasn't much impressed. She laid a gentle hand on Edge's shoulder and healed the worst of his wounds that the white mages could barely touch with their low level spells. Edge's defiant glare got nothing but a smile from the summoner of Spira, who long ago learned that fighting wasn't the solution to everything.

Yuna simply summoned a small woodland creature and had her guardians escort a single woman into the arena. The small woodland creature introduced herself as Fairie.

Shion.

Fairie.

Who said that the weapons of a summoner were just her pets? "So Shion, Fairie. Who's cooler: Duran or Kevin Winnicot?"

To the dismay of the judges, the screaming started less than a minute into the argument. Jenna said not a word when Yuna was awarded the Godlike championship.


---

Yuri groaned and rubbed his shoulder. That was -not- how he wanted to spend the championship week, but them's the breaks. Speaking of breaks.. poor Edge. Who knew that you could break every bone in your body and live?

A gentle tapping on the table broke Yuri's musings. Edge was awake! Lexis stood next to Edge's table, nodding along to the tapping. Ignoring the bandage over his head, he walked over to Yuri. "He's tapping in morse. Something about revenge and beating Kevin Winnicot within an inch of his life."

"Sounds good. Let's go do that."

Yuna: 28
Jenna Angel: 22




Gades (Lufias) Gades vs Kharg Kharg (AtL4)

superaielman
Good move: Whineblade waltzing past Surt.

Bad move: Beating up a bunch of really pissed off Heavy bosses, who then promptly conspire against you to bring you down. With Gades's might, Zera's wisdom, and Surt's ability to set fire to things, well...


The phrase "you got Kharged" was coined for a reason.

Gades: 26
Kharg: 13




Peter (SF2) Peter vs Canas Canas (FE7)

superaielman
Peter's rebirth this season burned bright and hard, rather fitting for the Phoenix who devoted his life to battling Zeon and his minions. Queen? A pile of ash consumed by unrelating attacks. Karin? No more than a memory, torn in half by a single critical from Peter's razor sharp claws. Lute? Hahaha. A little girl who relied on fire magic to take down an immortal. No matter how many times she attempted to burn Peter, the magic simply slid off his skin.

Canas, though. Canas may have been a hero and an ally of those who seek justice, but his magics are as dark as Zeon. Nosferatu is especially cruel to Peter- it sucks the regenerative powers that are Peter's birthright and uses it to heal whatever damage inflicted by claw or beak. No matter how many times Peter rose from horrendous burns and wounds inflicted by Canas's accursed Zeon-blessed spells, Canas was there to suck the life out of him. Thus the revival of the Phoenix ended not in a blaze of glory, but a in crumpled talking bird dead on the arena floor, being studied by someone completely without malice, only interested in winning and learning the fascinating secret of Peter's magical regeneration.

Peter: 14
Canas: 30




Ricardo Gomez (SH3) Ricardo Gomez vs Lani Lani (FF9)

Meeplelard
Ricardo learned he was facing another female this round. So what did he do?

The same thing he always does! Try to serenade her, and while she is distracted, turn the Guitar into a Flamethrower or Rocket Launcher (depends on his mood), finish the fight that way...assuming asking them to give up doesn't work, naturally.

Unfortunately, Ricardo didn't consider that Lani would aim for his guitar before he had a chance to play even the first line of music, thereby destroying his strategy completely.

The rest...umm...well, its best we not get into details from there, so we'll just say "use your own imagination."

Ricardo Gomez: 13
Lani: 36

"Well, hello there," said Ricardo.

"Save it, El Moronachi. I'm very happy with my current relationship."

"Of course. An ideal romance, such as could only be found in one's mind."

"AMARANT DOES LOVE ME! YOU'LL SEE!" cried Lani.

"Of course. But is he here? He is not. I am. He does not care to see you here. I do."

"But... Amarant..."

"Does not deserve you. Your luscious lips, your wonderous eyes, your sensuous bandana..."

"Yes... and your manly sombrero..."

_ _

"And that's the story of how Sasarai's silly hat was created. The end," finished Ryudo as he closed the storybook. All around him, children were curled up in balls, muttering in tongues.

"RYUDO! What did you do!" yelled Millennia.

"I was just reading them a story," Ryudo said.

"Wipe that smirk off of your face! What were you thinking, reading from the Tome of Latino Lovers?"

"Honestly? I was thinking of what your response would be the next time you ask me to substitute for your class so you can go shoe shopping."

"Well, congratuations. You can feel all high and mighty tonight... on the couch."

"Damn it."

And with that, the two of them walked out of the calssroom, leaving the catatonic children to their misery.

"Felt doesn't work like that... felt doesn't work like that..."

Jo\'ou Ranbu
Man, Ricardo, how did you manage to get into the finals two times in a row?


Don't quit your day job 4!

With all of the gullable saps...er, generous protagonist characters in the DL, Habaruku is going to make a mint. Not only that, but with all of the easily duped second string villians and lackys running around, he'll end up roping in an entire army of minions as well. When you stop to think about it, the DL is a really rich hunting ground for Televangelists and other media based scammer types. He's got this one hands down.

Mallow: 12
Sophia: 5
Alonso: 3
Habaruku: 13
Fail: 11
