Jade never showed up to the match.
He was one of the few spared.

Zophar: 29
Jade: 15

Imperial
There comes a time when even Gods must step down.

Now is that time Zophar.




Ice Queen Avril (WA5) Ice Queen Avril vs Souji Seta Souji Seta (Pers4)

Namagomi
It had been the culmination of weeks of effort.

Souji's Understanding of his own limits, and his Knowledge of the opponent's.

The Courage to face the Ice Queen with head held high...and the Diligence to wear her defenses down...


"Thou art I, and I am thou. Thou has our blessing when creating a Persona of the Aeon arcana..."


Yosuke and Kanji watched from the stands, as Avril walked off the Arena, motioning for Souji to follow with a smirk on her face--which he did. As she was the first to leave the Arena, the win was awarded to Souji.

"...That is not even fair." Yosuke bemoaned his leader's immense luck. "...I can't believe that he managed to get yet ANOTHER girl to go with him!"

"...oh, uh, Sempai? I won the bet, remember?" Kanji cut in.

"Kgggghhhh..." Yosuke grumbled, handing over 5,000 yen to the much larger underclassman. "It can't be that hard! I mean...he can pull that off, then so can I!" He confided himself as he headed across the stands, approaching the first woman in the Godlike section that stood out to him.



...Not too much later, he was sent to the infirmary with multiple scythe-inflicted wounds. It's always an amazingly bad option to try and chat up one of the Godlikes most known for anti-perversion tendencies--especially when it happens to be Piastol.

Ice Queen Avril: 6
Souji Seta: 26


Jenna Angel (DDS) Jenna Angel vs TimeLord TimeLord (Saga)

Barubary
Timelord drew the short straw and fights Jenna Angel oh well sucks to be him

Jenna Angel: 27
TimeLord: 12


Xorn (G3) Xorn vs Ghaleon Ghaleon (Lunars)

SageAcrin
"LOVE AND HOPE AND COURAGE AND BEAUTY HAVE NO PLACE IN MY WORLD! THIS FOOL THAT THINKS HE'S SOME KIND OF BEAUTIFUL DEFENDER OF JUSTICE MUST BE PURGED FROM MY EXISTENCE!" Xorn's loud cry could be heard throughout the league, as he prepared for battle against the things he hated most.

"..." "Something wrong?" Xenobia asked, a worried frown fleeting across her face, as Ghaleon, his face as hard as an anvil, looked out at the arena.

"...justice...love...to hell with it, I'm going to wait until they at least come a little down off the Magical Girl Ghaleon obsession kick." Ghaleon sighed. "You have a few horrible sessions with brainwashing and no one lets you forget it. Let's go find a hot tub, and make sure Royce brings her snake." Ghaleon sighed, as he walked away from the arena, leaving the still-raving Xorn the victor.

"You know, you have to hand it to him. A lot of men, between his general appearance and the brainwashing, might be questioning their sexuality." Xenobia noted quietly to herself, with a grin, as she followed after him.

Xorn: 26
Ghaleon: 16




Nina Wyndia (BoF1) Nina Wyndia vs Yuki Yuki (G3)

SageAcrin
Yuki is a brave man.

Yuki is also someone who won't let anyone fool him, thinking he's stupid. No sir, he's not an idiot.

---

"I'm telling you, she's Nina, but not the one you're looking for!" Flik muttered in exasperation, as Yuki attempted yet again to step around him and combat his designated nemesis.

"Oh, you can't really think I'd fall for that old trick. How many Ninas can there be!? That's ridiculous, it's not that common of a name. And she's in an arena." Yuki cried.

"...Wait, why am I defending her?" "Sir Flik!?" Nina squealed, hiding behind him. "Okay, okay, fine, look, this stupid girl gets me into trouble a lot, but electrocuting you won't be much trouble in comparison to some of the stuff she's done."

"Hah! We'll see about that!" Yuki laughed, readying his sword.

Nope, Yuki's not dumb.

He's not precisely bright either though.

And most people who don't show up to their match don't end up in the infirmary anyways, so the results may be worse than being dumb anyways.

Nina Wyndia: 31
Yuki: 9


Chie Satonaka (Pers4) Chie Satonaka vs Demi Demi (PS4)

Namagomi
It was a picture-perfect kick...Chie looked to punt yet another opponent into the stratosphere. The relatively petite android, after all, didn't even look like she weighed that much, and didn't even move that fast. An easy victory...

...then Demi took one large step forward, and Chie's kick hit. With a notably sharp and painful cracking sound, Demi still standing in the arena, and the kung-fu fanatic having fallen to the floor, clutching her now-broken leg, the control android letting out a slight giggle as she waits for her opponent to concede.


...to add insult to injury, Chie was placed in the Infirmary.


...in the bed right next to Yosuke's.

Chie Satonaka: 14
Demi: 23

Stormwarden
Demi was surprised when she noticed her ship was moving in. Getting closer...closer...*WHAM* Colliding right into the hull, she slides to the back of that ship, and all she could think was:

"When could humans kick like THAT?"




Hilda Valentine (SH3) Hilda Valentine vs Kary Kary (FF1)

SageAcrin
Ahhh, Hilda. Master of form changing. Many different techniques and styles of battle are within her grasp.

Each has their own advantages.

---

"...a bat?" Kary muttered.

"You're the fiend of fire, right?" Hilda squeaked.

"...yes..." Kary nodded, waiting for more explanation. "Fire. Perverts." Hilda gave the closest approximation of a shrug she could as a bat, as she prepared for her beating.

"...Sure, why not." Kary shrugged some of her shoulders.

As she wandered into the stands, burning random perverts.

"...that's...not...quite what I meant, but I just can't take a win from ringout, when she's doing me a favor..." Hilda grinned a bit, as she flapped out of the arena.

Hilda Valentine: 9
Kary: 32


Nash Rumack (Lunar1) Nash Rumack vs Lede Lede (FFT)

Taishyr

"So. This is a speedoff." Nash murmured, low.

"Indeed, child. Any last words?" Lede nodded solemnly.

"No. Let this commence."

At this, both sprinted toward their target.

Sadly, Nash miscalculated, and barely missed his stone spell...

on Barinten as Lede ducked in, grabbing Barinten and throwing him out of the arena. "Almost, child. You've got potential. We'll teach you more next week."

Nash shook his head, but then smiled at Lede and left, a happy loser.

Hey, he didn't have to die here. A relative win is still a win.

Nash Rumack: 23
Lede: 31




Rudy Roughknight (WA) Rudy Roughknight vs Scythe Riebauer Scythe Riebauer (WA4)

Taishyr

Scythe came prepared to smite his WA foe.
Rudy came with Mega Man's wea- er, ARM.

Scythe was not made happy by this development.
Rudy accredited his win to Gyro Man's valiant sacrifice.

Rudy Roughknight: 28
Scythe Riebauer: 17


Axl (MMXCM) Axl vs Cador Cador (Brig)

superaielman
Dolorous Stroke: A near fatal blow, often associated with the Fisher King. It's frequently tied in with a blow to the thigh or genitals.


In spite of some rather heroically bad attempts at fanart by the MM yaoi fan community, Axl lacks said parts and is a robot to boot- his flesh doesn't cleave as easily as a normal human's would. Not that it MATTERS once he uses his Hyper Mode skill and immunes damage- he'll be too busy kicking Cador's ass around the block to worry about such minor details.

Axl: 19
Cador: 9


Ashton Anchors (SO2) Ashton Anchors vs Adray Lasbard Adray Lasbard (SO3)

Taishyr
Two swords versus one sword.

Two swords and three mouths versus one sword and one mouth.

Three sets of eyes versus one.

Adray refused to participate, as Gyoro and Ururun were separate entities and thus Ashton was receiving outside support. Ashton, not willing to explain the situation -again-, accepted the win.

Ashton Anchors: 31
Adray Lasbard: 12


Kraken (FF1) Kraken vs Yulie Ahtreide Yulie Ahtreide (WA4)

Sei
An innocent, school girl age female.

A tentacle demon.

Clearly, there's only one way that this can-

"No, no, no, very very no!"

As one, the crowd blinked at the sudden outburst of Kraken.

"I am sick and tired of everyone thinking that just because I have tentacles, I have to act like one of those sex-starved porn monsters."

"You said it!" agreed Yulie, "And I'm sick and tired of everyone thinking that just because I'm young and I wear a skirt, I'm nothing more than fodder for those sex-starved porn monsters."

"Yeah! I'm more than just a bunch of phallic symbols. I'm a fiend who terrorized a region in a manner that did NOT involve impregnating every single woman I met!"

"Yeah! And I'm more than just a maiden to be deflowered. I'm a Paladienne that actually helped saved the world! Heck, I even shattered a bunch of tentacles that grabbed me along the way!"

"That's right! So you guys can just keep your prejudices to yourselves! I'll just stay here and cross my appendages over my chest in protest! What do you guys say to that, eh?"

"Right! And I'll just go over here and blast a hole through Kraken's head! To heck with your sexist expectations! I'm doing things my way!"

"Right!"

There was one of those poignant pauses as the Fiend of Water went over those last few statements.

"Wait, whaagh?" Kraken managed to say shortly before the young Paladienne stuffed her spell-slinging fist into the cephalopod's mouth and casted Sacrifice.

There was another one of those poignant pauses as the audiences just stared at the twitching corpse of Kraken (Or wiped squid brain matter off their faces. It depended on where they were sitting, really).

"Ahh, that felt good" Yulie sighed "Hey Jude! You up for some sushi?"

Kraken: 20
Yulie Ahtreide: 28




Tempest (Lunar1) Tempest vs Aguro Aguro (Lufia1)

Snowfire
Tempest took a long drag on his cigarette as the door clanged open. It was Aguro the Snitch, sporting a black eye the size of Topeka. "The look on your face tells me you've got a problem with the Dee Ellia gang. Or real bad woman troubles. Or both."

"Something like that." Aguro absent-mindedly fiddled with an orange in his hands, before shoving them back in his ill-fitting trenchcoat. "I've got a case for you. A real stumper."

"I'm all ears. Let's hear it."

Aguro started to pace around the room, nervously. "It's... it's a dead body. It's murder. But... the police don't know. They can't know, because.... because they'll think I did it. You're the only one that can help me."

Tempest feigned nonchalance, but took note. This would be more interesting than the usual philandering husbands and moonshiners gone wrong. "Oh? Why would that be?"

Aguro looked about nervously, then leaned forward as if to whisper. "Because... because I did it!" Aguro pulled the trigger on the axe he had in his coat pocket, blowing a hole into Tempest's head. Ever the traditionalist, he then took a swing at Tempest's neck. Some quick rifling through Tempest's desk drawers then occurred, looking to steal some cash and make it look like a robbery. Aguro briefly paused to wonder why he & Tempest were seemingly stuck in a bad 1920s comic book before dismissing the thought. The Dee Ellia gang would surely pay him well for this... wouldn't they?

Tempest: 7
Aguro: 34

SageAcrin
This match was canceled, on lack of interest.

Any people that care may proceed to the arena it was to be held in, where hot fudge sundaes will be passed out as random generic female PCs mud wrestle for your entertainment.

---

"...Ahhhh, man, this is the life." Aguro noted, as he munched his triple fudge on chocolate ice cream dessert.

"...this is pathetic." Tempest muttered, annoyed, as he stormed out of the arena.

"And the winner, by ringout, is Aguro." Yuri Hyuga noted solemnly.

"...huh?" "Well, we had to determine who won somehow. The first of you to walk out seemed best." Yuri shrugged, as he munched his ice cream cone happily. "Of course, you don't have to leave yet either." He finished, smiling.

"Don't think I will just yet." Aguro answered back happily.




Chu-Chu (XG) Chu-Chu vs Garet Garet (GS)

DragonKnight Zero
Fur is flammable.

Garet sets things on fire with his skills.

It's a foregone conclusion, really.

Chu-Chu: 11
Garet: 29


Mallow (SMRPG) Mallow vs Jin Uzuki Jin Uzuki (XS2)

Snowfire

To make this Light season more interesting, it was decided that giant mechs should be legal for this match. Jin had one ready, of course, but what about Mallow...?

As it happens, Mallow might not have the power of the legendary "Chu-ansformation," but he can become a decent impersonation of the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man which menaced New York. Impressive! Certainly enough to crush puny mortals. Sadly, marshmallow is still not the most durable substance out there, especially to E. S. Reuben's custom blade. Not a hot knife through butter, but close enough, no?

Mallow: 19
Jin Uzuki: 23


Laguna Loire (FF8) Laguna Loire vs Alonso Alonso (G3)

SageAcrin

Laguna is an intelligent person, evidence to the contrary aside.

After all, he became ruler of Esthar and didn't promptly blow it up.

He's somehow survived in dangerous situations despite being both a spaz and a klutz.

Obviously he has something upstairs. Along with lots of good luck, probably.

What does this have to do with this match?

---

"...never...fighting...him...again..." Alonso muttered. "OW! Can't you guys give me more anesthetic or something?"

"Sorry, it wouldn't do much good. Too near the nerves." A generic Cleric noted. "Damn! This is horrible!" Alonso cried out, as he winced again. "Can't you just knock me out?" "Nope, healing magic doesn't work right on unconcious people half the time, depending on their home game and how much censorship it had. We've taken to just not using it." "Gah!"

"Well, it's not our faults you got shot a few dozen times in the ass." The generic mumbled. "And this isn't going to be nearly as bad as when you have to turn over."

"grhgllllllgaaaah." Alonso gargled.

Sometimes, deterrant for the future is worth a temporary loss. Laguna may have lost this battle, but he has not lost the war against Alonso.

Laguna Loire: 18
Alonso: 22
