Profound Darkness (PS4) Profound Darkness vs Kyogre Kyogre (PKMN)

superaielman
"You have GOT to be kidding me."

[Not in the least. I'm calling in all of those favors you've asked for over the years.]

"Even I haven't picked a fight with the Profound Darkness. It's nice not having every -single- Godlike after me, you know?"

[You won't even be fighting PD.]

"Yes. Because fighting Neo Granzon on foot is so much safer."

[Shu was hired for this, he won't take it personally. Stop complaining, Edge. I've even secured an immorality item for you.]

"..Chantage? I really hate you."

[It'll help with that wonderful odor you so permeate. More on topic, remember the Infinity Dragon incident?]

"...Still hate you, but I'm putting it on. Why do this?"

[Kyogre banned liquor consumption at Pokemon gatherings and smashed anyone who tried to drink on his watch. Blastoise has gone sober and no longer tries to strip off his shell for TMs.]

"*Shudder*"

[Yes. To the arena.]

=======


An often successful, always obnoxious hero battling to the death against impossible odds against an overwhelming opposing force, one that held a huge adavantage in every single possible ability besides speed. The Profound Darkness was naturally captivated by the fight, as was everyone watching. Even by the prince's standards it was complete insanity-a single attack from the Granzon would level an entire arena, let alone one man. Yet not a single person was shocked when Edge scraped himself off the ground and threw a Fuma at the pilot's window of the Neo Granzon. It takes a special lack of common sense to pick a fight with the deadliest mech in the known universe, but Edge is a special man.


PD was a creature of complete and total evil and thus possessed nearly infinite powers. Not even the TimeLord after absorbing three Kefkas (Narshe, Final, and the super secret Thamasa Kefka) could even come close to felling it in a blow. But Kyogre was notable even in Godlike for overwhelming strength and for the huge bonuses he got for water damage.

What, then, would holy water do to PD? Holy water that hit her substandard defense? Holy Water that slays the bosses in it's home universe in one hit? A quick trip to the Not Ranked area by a paid flunky secured the services of one Ricther Belmont and a cask of Blessed Water. Kyogre's natural affinity to water attacks let him pick up the attack extremely quickly.. and PD's natural advesion to holy attacks let PD.. well..

The wicked witch of the west would be proud of PD's shrieks of agony as Kyogre literally melted the demonic creature of Algol in a single use of Hydrostorm. Kyogre's celebration would however be short lived.

======

To everyone's surprise, the lone Fuma Edge threw in desparation sliced through the layers of technologically advanced armor and left a shallow gash on Shu's face. While Shu had been paid off to merely smash Edge a few times, he was given assurances that he would not be harmed. Not that it was needed, like any creature on foot could stand up to his might. But... this... FOOL! HE HAD SCARRED SHU'S FACE. HE MUST SUFFER FOR THIS. And suffer Edge did.

"Worm Smasher, fire!"

The lasers quickly ripped through another dimension and back into the DLverse, focusing their might on the battered form of Edge. A flash of light engulfed Edge, leaving a massive crater where he had stood. There was no sign of the ninja who had once stood there.

[This was not part of the plan. To the clerics.]

Profound Darkness: 20
Kyogre: 26


Johnny Garland (SH3) Johnny Garland vs Tidus Tidus (FFX)

Foliage
It was to be a fight between twoâ–¬both young and capable lads in the primes of their lives, although one's life wasn't really real. That matter not withstanding, the forces that be had decided that the two must settle in a duel which of the two is the strongest.

As we all know, DL matches seldom end up being an actual contest of brawl and combat prowess, so instead both of them had to pick a non-lethal speciality and impress the judges with that instead.

Tidus, not surprisingly, chose blitzball.
Johnny, also not surprisingly, picked photography.

And so the two set offâ–¬Tidus to find a blitzball team, a blitzball globe and someone to compete against, and Johnny a sight to photograph.

In the end, when all was said and done, Tidus won the blitzball match. The DL judges (with the exception of Leviathan, who failed to see just what was so spectacular about playing sports while submerged in water) were fairly impressed.

Still, Tidus didn't win. You see, he had been so busy trying to be impressive as can be that he failed to notice Johnny had been taking pictures of the game.

And what do you know? The judges agreed that the sight of the -entire- game was far more impressive, and that Johnny captured it nicely.

Despite Tidus's protests, Johnny was awarded the win. Technicalities said that the blitzballer couldn't be held accountable for the impressive actions his opponents pulledâ–¬the ones Johnny managed to photograph.

Sometimes you lose even when you win.

Johnny Garland: 29
Tidus: 17


Terra Branford (FF6) Terra Branford vs Hrist Valkyrie Hrist Valkyrie (VP2)

Meeplelard
"Forfeited the match? Thought you had too much pride for that" Arngrim said casually

"Under normal circumstances, I do, but Lady Myria is not opposed to avoiding unnecessary blood shed, especially against those who don't wish to fight either, let alone when they hold a firm upperhand against you...much as I hate to admit it" Hrist replied

"Wait wait wait wait...YOU GAVE UP?" Teepo responded

"I thought we just established that..."

"...why?"

Hrist and Arngrim merely sighed; while working for Myria is certainly much better than working for Odin, it did not come without downsides.

Terra Branford: 46
Hrist Valkyrie: 9


TimeLord (Saga) TimeLord vs Tir McDohl Tir McDohl (Suikos)

Dunefar
Tir? Tir! TIR?!?!

Hahahahahahahahaha. Yeah, Tir's like a bottle rocket he's so fast. But who cares? In a blink of an eye TimeLord turns him into a statue and not even Tir's that danged fast. Rune or not this is a splatter. Not that I can complain, Tir'll have more personality when he's a stone lawn ornament in TimeLord's yard than he used to have. It's a win-win for everyone!

TimeLord: 35
Tir McDohl: 18




Riou (S2) Riou vs Ershin Ershin (BoF4)

superaielman
The everlasting mercy of Riou's Bright Shield rune fades to nothing when it's placed in competition with something. Normally it's the Black Sword Rune, the opposite half of the Rune of Beginning that compels it's user to fight no matter what. The DL arena is special, though- both Jowy and Riou are at peace with their runes here and are able to control it, meaning the full weight of one half of a rune able to grant eternal life or everlasting mercy can be brought to bear on the enemies of the Dunan Republic's founder.

The display of power was put to use instantly in Riou's first fight in Heavy, as Forgiver Sign reduced Ershin to scrap metal, giving the robot an 0-1 record and the dubious honor of being unable to even land a single attack in his debut Heavy battle.

Riou: 48
Ershin: 8


Meliadoul Tingel (FFT) Meliadoul Tingel vs Lilka Eleniak Lilka Eleniak (WA2)

superaielman
The greatest healer in the lands, able to fan the spark of life back when nothing but ashes were left. That person could be had for the right price, if you were willing to spare no expense. Mewtwo however just obliterated Meliadoul with a Psychic and forced Lilka to assist him as payment for saving her from having to spend literally hours pummeling pour Melia to death. A master of crest magic should be enough to at least piece together where Edge went.. sometime. But oh no, this dream team was not yet assembled. It required a true master of time. One who just so happened to be fighting this week.


"You want me to come along and help bring back Edge... wait, he helped kill PD? It'd be my pleasure. An all PC half of Godlike.. bwhaha... BWHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA... ahem. Excuse me. Let's go."

Meliadoul Tingel: 17
Lilka Eleniak: 37


Ayame (S3) Ayame vs Crono Crono (CT)

superaielman
The third part of Mewtwo's plan was simple enough. Crono's ability to cheat death itself was the stuff of legends. But first, a fight awaited. A very short one.

A: Crono was actually faster than Ayame, a rare feat
B: Ayame really sucks at taking magical damage
C: Both fighters were also blazingly fast and couldn't heal.

It was a short, fight, but one that left the young man from 1000 A.D. victorious. Crono willingly enough gave the advice to Mewtwo (........,....!!!), and directions for where to acquire a doll- not that Mewtwo needed that. He had just a ringer in mind.

Ayame: 8
Crono: 51


Veronica Vera (SH2) Veronica Vera vs Neifirst Neifirst (PS2)

superaielman
Alarms shrieked all over the league. The current crack security team- Unlimited Indalecio, Blue, Ryu5, and Minato- dropped what they were doing and ran to the source of the disturbance.. the arena where Neifirst and Veronica were fighting. Snippets of conversation filtered through the crowd, as they pressed into the battle arena to see what the hell was wrong.

"Edge... another dimension.."

"They opened a gateway to the dimension.. Edge not there.."

"Time Loop.. used a dummy doll.."

"No Edge.. tore a hole in space-time accidently.."

"Crest summoning magic didn't work right.."

"Demons from hell escaping.."

Ryu dropped into his Wyrm form and desperately fought back the horder while Indalecio and Minato used their magics to keep the hole from expanding, all while Blue used his mastery of Time and Space magic to fix the hole.

In all that excitement, no one noticed Veronica quickly getting knocked out by Neifirst.. or that Edge hadn't appeared. Where *HAD* Edge gotten off too?

------

..."So you cast Smoke and got the hell out of dodge? Not very honorable."

"Can it, Yuri. I hurt in places I didn't know existed."

"But what about Mewtwo? He thought you were blasted into another universe, and judging by that alarm he's doing something to correct that."

"I had a god knows how many ton giant robot step on me. Don't want to hear it, just want ice. Mmm, ice."

Veronica Vera: 10
Neifirst: 25




Harle (CC) Harle vs Gadwin Gadwin (G1)

Grefter
Gadwin is all like a dragonslayer and stuff right? So he stabs Harle and she falls over with sword shaped hole in face. Because she is a dragon you see. And he is a dragon slayer or something. He might not be. He does stab thigns in face however. Sword shaped holes in face are impossible to cure, it is like some kind of epidemic. Gadwin is a one man sword shaped hole in face pestilence. Give up and die in the face of sword hole face made threats that are made via the mouth which is part of the face. Cupcakes.

Harle: 20
Gadwin: 26


Eliwood (FE7) Eliwood vs Oscar Oscar (FE9)

Grefter
Oscar sees who Eliwood really is, behind the skin and the muscles. Oscar sees wo Eliwood really is and when he gets older later he will still see the same girl, the same soul, lioness, fireheart, passionate lover and afterwards later this century when they have both become corpses he will still see the same girl.

Wait what?

Eliwood: 14
Oscar: 30


Midboss (Disgaea) Midboss vs Chisato Madison Chisato Madison (SO2)

Taishyr
Chisato pouted. It was no fair!

How could she have known that despite all her cynicism and plot powers, Midboss would be able to sweep in, rush her off her feet in a loving embrace, and then casually roll her out of his hands and out of the arena?

She did get her revenge, however; Precis' metal hand knocked him out of the park after the girl saw such 'unchivalrous' behavior.

Ah well, there would be next season to try her hand at things!

Midboss: 35
Chisato Madison: 20


Jessica De'Alkirk (Lunar1) Jessica De'Alkirk vs Boyd Boyd (FE9)

Grefter
"Please release, this pressure off me"

"Oh yes, I will, vertebrae by vertebrae"

Boyd wins. Flawless Victory.

Jessica De'Alkirk: 14
Boyd: 31




Jet Enduro (WA3) Jet Enduro vs Nikki Nikki (CC)

superaielman
Jet's best at being a quick, tough item boy. It's a talent of his, and one that got him well rewarded. A quick dash to the NR arena and escorting back some vampire hunter to Mewtwo (Ricther couldn't get into the arena by himself) and Kyogre had earned him the right to select his own judge for the fight. A quick consultation with fellow drifter Clive gave him the idea to use Jecht as ref for his battle with Nikki.

The results were as predictable as a sunrise. Jecht quickly tore into the freakish Nikki for his outfit, his makeup, his choice of career... and on and on. It didn't take long for Nikki to leave the arena crying (Where a well placed machine gun burst from Jet made sure he stayed out).

Who said that being item boy was a bad thing?

Jet Enduro: 38
Nikki: 11


Nana (G1) Nana vs Saradin Saradin (OB)

superaielman
Saradin's List of Embarrassing Things to Do Involving Women before Dying:

1. Be turned into a statue by Albeleo, score points with UOM fangirls.
2. Be beaten to death by a freaky sergeant with a bat.
3. Get Fenril liquored up and see if she likes older men.
<-DO NOT TRY A SECOND TIME

Saradin may suffer, but he's at least goal oriented.

Nana: 20
Saradin: 18


Reis Dular (FFT) Reis Dular vs Arietta Arietta (TotA)

Dunefar
You think Arietta has a mommy complex for monsters? A liger's got nothing on a dragon. You know what happens when Arietta sees Reis? It's Mommy time all over again. She'll be hugging her and crying and asking if Reis will take her out to buy clothes. Sure, it's strange for a human to be affected by Dragon Tame, but Arietta's freaky. A tweener buying clothes can't compete in a duel, so Reis coasts to a win at the expense of her gold pieces. Oh well.

Reis Dular: 40
Arietta: 13


Blank (FF9) Blank vs Soren Soren (FE9)

superaielman
To his credit, Blank has far more sense than Zidane. He clearly notices that Soren is a male, and neither hits on him or calls him a tranny. He just grabs his sword and starts hacking away as best he can. Unlike Zidane, he has nothing besides his (really bad) physical, making him a rather notably bad light. Soren's magic peels of Blank's hide faster than it takes Cinna to get laughed at in a bar. To Blank's infinite uncredit, he is Blank and got punked down by an FE prettyboy. He won't be hitting it off with the ladies tonight, that's for sure.

Blank: 10
Soren: 37
