Week 5 - Semifinals




Ryu (BoF3) Ryu vs Zophar Zophar (Lunar2)

Draco Ignifer
Ryu III is in a prime position to beat Zophar. He effectively has infinite lives as long as he doesn't run out of MP, and can do some serious damage with the relatively cheap Myrmidon form, or Mammoth, which might have enough HP to take a Fate Storm.

Ryu: 33
Zophar: 23

Dude789
Zophar was incredibly hard with a five team party. Myria was only difficult with a three team party. Even though you have all those dragon genes you will run out of mp. Zophar had the hp to take Triple Sword, Catastrophe and Blue Dragon Palm countless times. Ryu's mp won't last long enogh to cut through his hp.

One of the best PCs against one of the best bosses...hmmmm....right. I can't wait until Zophar gets to fight worker 8 next season in the first round, because I know you guys are cruel enough to do it!

Dunefar
The God of Destruction versus the Dragon Saviour, whom has already struck down one diety. This should be an epic battle, one to shake the world that hosts this epic rumble.

It should, 'cept for one thing: Zophar's in his fourth battle in a row, and in his fourth form. A broken bit of Zophar skeleton isn't very threatening to human Ryu, let alone Kaiser.

Splut goes the baddie.





Diekbeck (AtLC) Diekbeck vs Xenobia Xenobia (Lunar1)

superaielman
On one side, you have a one of the leaders of the Vile Tribe, powerful and cruel with wicked magicks to draw upon. The other side.. you have a robot who's best known for sharing EXP with others, and blowing himself up with his best attack.

Diekbeck can only blow himself up. Xenobia can fire off as many uses of Sonic Boom as it takes to send the little robot who coulndn't back to the scrapyard.

Diekbeck: 11
Xenobia: 32

Dunefar
"HAIL LORD GHALEON!

YOUR LOYAL SERVANT XENOBIA WILL NOW PROCEED TO CAPTURE THE TITLE OF HEAVY IN THE NAME OF OUR IDEALOGICAL CRU-"

The crisp rippling of Hell Wave's energy follows a moment later, turning most of Xenobia into a charred corpse. Ghaleon sighs, rising from his throne atop the Grindery.

"Royce," he says aloud, to the shellshocked girl standing besides the minimal remains of Xenobia, "Would you inform Diekbeck that Xenobia had to forfiet," he commands, sitting back down. "Today's experiment seems to be a failure."

Draco Ignifer
Diekback has it in an endurance battle to the death. If he starts to run low on MP, he takes it from her with Rob Mind. If he's not low, he uses Invincible, and just pounds her to death. Long, hard fight, but he gets it.





Florina (FE7) Florina vs Momo Momo (BoF3)

superaielman
For nearly two seasons now, Fire Emblem has dominated over all in middle. First, came Lyn's crushing of the divison, and now Florina the Peg Knight comes, sword and spears flashing in the arena lights. Florina, for all of her speed and power and desire to emulate Lyn, has one problem.

She really dislikes being hit with arrows. What is a Bazooka then, but an infinitely more powerful bow? Somehow, I can't see Florina wanting to stay around and fight against someone who wields such a deadly weapon.

Florina: 15
Momo: 36




Virginia Maxwell (WA3) Virginia Maxwell vs Katt Katt (BoF2)

Meeplelard
"Well, wish me luck, guys. I've tried my best this far, all I can do is keep doing that" Virginia said, with a smirk to her comrades.

"Yes, we'll be cheering for you of course." Said Clive, and the 3 male drifters went to take their seats, while Virginia went to enter the arena

On the other side of the DL...

"Lets see...armor? Check. Meow Staff? Check." Katt said, making sure everything was in order

"Your three best buddies ready to rig the match for you?" said a voice

"Oh, right, forgot about...wait, what was that?" Katt turned around to see Bow, Jean, and Sten standing in the doorway, "What are you three doing here?"

"Oh, Katt, mademoiselle, it is nice to see you doing well, don't lose this fight, si vou plait"

"...let me guess, you guys want me to teach that drifter who keeps managing to get in our way a lesson? Come on, guys, you actually think I'm going to hold back, let alone lose this fight?"

"Oh, no, we're here to tell you that you have no chance of losing" Bow said, winking "You're going to win this match, and further bolster our teams reputation here, and we'll make sure of it!"

"Yeah, well, whatever, I can understand why Bow and Jean aren't much fans of her...but what are YOU doing here Sten?"

"Oh, I just thought I'd help out..."

"Help with what?"

"Oh, you know, stuff. Anything for my favorite female..." Sten was about to finish before Katt smacked him across the room

"Pervert! Get out of here! You two as well! I don't want you guys screwing this fight up!"

A few hours later, right before the match was going to begin...

Jet, while coming back from getting a soda, noticed an oddly suspicious conversation.

"Alright, that spot looks perfect. We should be able to succeed at this point!" said one voice

"Yes, and perhaps after we do this, Katt will finally give us the respect I...er...we deserve!" said another

"Oui, but perhaps this is wrong, there must be a better way to help moi dear friend"

"There isn't, now pipe down. I paid big money to make sure this spot was clear, and I'll be damned if its wasted. Look, lets head to the spot right now"

"Why do you need us?"

"Crowd control..."

"So three people from different races running across to the roof is less suspicious than just you?"

"Of course it is. And besides, we can't lose! Stealing is my specialty, even when it comes to trivial things like matches!"

(Stealing? What? Damn it, I can't believe I'm doing this, but I won't let her lose to some freaks like that?) Jet thought to himself, he decided to run to tell Clive and Gallows.

Back at the arena, Momo and Florina just finished their fight, and it was time for the last match of the week. However, when Virginia looked to her allies for some support, they were apparently huddling about something. She shook her head and just shrugged it off. Little did she know what was really going on.

"I see, so it seems Leader's opponent has some cheaters, eh?"

"Yes, I'm not saying I like actually helping her, but damn it, I can't stand to see someone cheat their way to victory" said Jet

"Hmm...I guess its up to use to stop them. However, Gallows, you stay here just in case, Jet and I will take care of this ourselves."

"Wait, why do you two get to have fun and I have to stay here?"

"If one of us stays, it'll look as though we are heading out for a standard restroom break or the like. We don't to start getting the wrong idea of what we are doing. I have an idea of how to get to the location unseen, and only Jet knows the exact location"

"That, and you're big, fat, stupid, and probably drunk"

"Hey! That wasn't nice! I've only had one glass...so far..."

"Whatever, lets get going"

------

"Alright, the two are in site. Virginia's on the left, Katt's on the right, nothing in the way, you should have a clear shot, Bow" said Sten, putting down his binoculars.

"Yeah, this plan is fool proof. Good thing Jean had those sources"

"What Sources?"

"Doesn't matter, anyway, we need to make sure this shot looks like something Katt did, so I'll be relying on you two to tell me when the time's right, as I'll be busy aiming"

"Hmm...again, si vou plait, there must be another way"

"Quiet! We're going to show that drifter not to mess with us Rangers!"

"Technically, you're the only ranger" said a voice that wasn't of Sten or Jean's

"Whatever, but..." Bow turned around and saw Jet and Clive standing behind him and his cohorts.

"Yikes! How'd you guys get up here" shouted Sten

"Doesn't matter, we're here to stop you from doing this deed"

"Bah! I can't mess this up, after all the planning involved!" shouted Bow

"Planning? You guys are just going to shoot one of the fighters from the roof, and make it look like one of the actual fighters did it! It’s the oldest trick in the book, and to think you guys had to plan that? I guess I shouldn't expect much from a mut, a frog, and a stupid monkey…"

"Stupid Monkey you say? You won't get away with this! YAAAH!" Sten said, grabbing his dagger, and jumping at Jet like a mad man, attempting to tackle hit down, only for Jet to side step, and pull out his Air-get-lahm.

"The monkey's mine! Damn it, I'm not in a good mood, kicking his ass will sure make me feel better"

"Bring it on, shortee!" Jet and Sten engaged in battle

"Alright, if you know what's best for you, you'd move asside, Jean was it? I know that the Ranger there is the leader of this act, unlike my ally, I prefer to avoid bloodshed when possible," Clive remarked.

Meanwhile, back on the ground...the bell rang, and Virginia and Katt started their fight. Neither seemed to be getting an edge on each other

"Well, looks like Jet and Clive have succeeded so far" The crowd's cheering was fortunately drowning out the loud shots of Jet and Clive's ARMs being fired at the misfit trio, so no one really noticed the antics from above.

However, in the mist of the confusion, "Damn it! Now's my chance!" Bow said, and without hesitation, fired off a shot from his crossbow.

Gallows, however, had a revelation, and somehow on gut instinct "Leader! Behind you! Watch out!"

Virginia, who had just blocked Katt's attack with her ARMs, barely heard the attack, turned out around, and attempted to dodge the hit, but still got pierce nicely in the arm.

The crowd was stunned at what just happened, as were the two duellers. Back on the roof top...


"It seems Gallows failed to warn Virginia fast enough. At least she'll win the match now."

"How do you expect her to win the match wounded, Clive?"

"While its true she is wounded, the attack was clearly an act of Interference, so she wins by default."


Sten, having not noticed what happened and getting up just being knocked down from a swift kick to the head by Jet "Bwahahah! Whose the monkey now, shortee! You can't beat me!"

"Just...shut...UP!" Jet screamed, as he hit Sten with a Finest Arts knocking him all the way to the ring, where Virginia was still standing, both daised and annoyed at her current injury. In this state of confusion, Virginia immidiatly pinpointed her wound on Sten, and seeing as Clive wasn't around to consult what to do, she took this into her own hands

"You...you tried to make me lose, didn't you? I'll make you receive the justice of the Waste lands!"

Sten getting up from Jet's attack "Damn it, if he thinks a little move like that's going to keep me down...well at least things can't get much worse" he said as he turned around, looking at what seemed to be an on fire Virginia "... on the otherhand, I think things just got a whole lot worse"

"PHANTSMIC HEART!" Virginia said, as she held the Hope Shard Medium in her hand (grabbing it from her pocket indicating it clearly was not invoked during the match), and in a manner of seconds, where Sten was standing was a big crater, with a pile of dismembered body parts that apparently use to belong to a monkey.

After that, Virginia, having relieved her anger, calmed down, and just shrugged and went to receive her prize.

Meanwhile, back on the roof...

"No, how could this plan fail! Damn it, Jean, I told you tell me when the proper time to shoot was!" Bow yelled, as he looked back.

However, Jean had warped away from the scene the instant Clive had made the "threat", as, in rare occassion, Jean had the brains to realize what was the right and smart thing to do, and left the

"Don't think you're getting off this easy, you mutt. We are definatly going to deal take care of you too!"

"Calm down, Jet, while his comrade did get a far worse punishment, the best thing to do would to just report his actions to the authorities, and let them deal with him"

"What the...damn it, I guess I deserved that. This is going to be one big fine, I'm gonna need to start doing a lot steal...er...work to pay this off"

While Jet and CLive were leaving...

"Do you think that's enough?" Jet said to Clive

"While no, I do not think he is getting a just punishment from that alone, I realized his female companion whom he accidently lost match for will not take things too lightly."

"...and just when I think you're a bit too light hearted. You're full of a suprises, Clive."

Virginia Maxwell: 29
Katt: 19

Virginia getting a championship... that's kinda wrong. But I kinda want to see the hell that is going to happen if she does. *Runs up to a hill and plays the fiddle*

Eh, Kefka's destroyed the world before. Old hat, and I say he does it with time to have a cup of coffee atop a tower of debris and ruin.

Besides, it's Malak. Strikes one, two and three right there. He manages to somehow Space Storage Back Tatjana and Geshstal, turning them into worthless toads before killing himself with a five hit Asura Back. It's the destiny of Malak, man.

Lady Yuna's Challenge

~superaielman


Sei
Galcian was confidently smirking as the killer android KOS-MOS fell to Eternum. So far, every female PC he had faced had crumpled to his might. Most of them, including all of God-like, had proven to be no match for his instant death, and those that had protection were too frail to survive repeated Terminals. At this rate, the power of Anima would surely be his.

The sound of footsteps broke him out of his thoughts, and he watched as a young girl wearing the clothes of a traveller entered the ring. He recalled seeing her a few times in the past, a powerful magician from the Heavy division with an immunity to every kind of spell. While that quirk of hers may save her from falling in one blow, the fact that she's a mage...

DING!

...means that she's also as frail as one.

"Kneel, kneel before me!"

Terminal smashed into the female mage like an irresistable force, crushing her into the ground with little to no strength left. Galcian walked a few steps back to see his work, and raised his eyebrow in amusement when he watched the girl painfully rise to her feet while casting a powerful white spell on herself that fully healed her wounds.

Then he struck her again with Terminal.

She had healing, but she was as slow as she was weak. His speed and strength ensured that she would be forced to heal herself every time until she ran out of magical stamina, and when that happens, this match was as good as his.

"I'll admit, your ability to avoid getting killed is to be admired, sorceress." Galcian said conversationally as he struck the spell caster with a third Terminal. "But surely, you cannot hope keep up with this forever."

"No..." the girl replied as she raised her blood-streaked face, a confident smile on her lips as her body glowed with power and the image of a beautiful goddess began to form in front of her. "Can you?"

And that was when uncountable rays of holy light rained all over the admiral's body, searing his flesh and burning his soul. When it finally ended, his breathing was ragged and his legs were struggling to keep him from falling over.

"That was very foolish." Galcian began after coughing out some blood. "Did you really think that one of those silly summons would be enough to... to..."

Galcian's words died in his throat and his eyes widened in fear as he watched his healthy and injury-free opponent cheerfully looking back at him. The self-same light that had ruthlessly tore into him had fully healed her as well.

"Of course not..." Cecilia said while readying another Hi-Heal spell in preparation for Galcian's next Terminal. "...but I think one or two more summonings of the High Guardian Raftina will be."

Three turns later, and Cecilia was declared the winner, and the proud owner of a new Aeon.


Galcian: 24
A Woman: 34

Galcian was in rare form that day. He swiftly dispatched Lenneth with one casting of Eternum. His brutal Terminal attack proved too much for Feena to handle. Deis made a valiant effort, but found that her BoltX spell was useless against a man raised under the light of the yellow moon. Truly, it seemed that no female PC could defeat the Valuan admiral.

As the day went on, Yuna began looking for challengers in lower divisions, desperate not to let one of her most powerful summons fall into the hands of a villain. She hoped that someone, anyone, had some overlooked power that would let her claim victory...

The arena was silent as Galcian prepared to meet his final opponent. When she appeared, his grin broadened, for he knew that he couldn't lose to this girl. Why, she couldn't be more than twelve years old! And her equipment: a French beret, a paintbrush, and clothes made from the hide of some absurd animal.

The loudspeaker blared, "And now, the final challenger: Relm Arrowny!"

She raised her brush and began to paint. Tired of fighting, Galcian decided to end the battle quickly by casting Eternum. But with her Memento Ring, Relm could shrug off the spell easily. Galcian tried Terminal, but the Behemoth Suit was surprisingly durable, and kept Relm barely alive.

At last, Relm came forward to show the painting. Suddenly, her appearance changed. She now looked like a ghost with the head of a blond-haired man. Strangely colored lights were flashing all over the arena, and nobody was quite sure what to do.

Then hundreds of swords fell from the sky and reduced Galcian to a fine red mist.

And thus the day was saved, thanks to... the Sketch glitch!

Dhyerwolf
Poor, poor Yuna.
So much traegdy in her life.
Training herself for death to defeat Sin.
Having Tidus fade away before her very eyes.
Not being able to get out one word without gasping at least 3 times.
Becoming Spira's second biggest ho-bag, and having to listen to the first prattle on about ho-bagging and related ho issues.
And now, Galcian defeats all the the female challengers, because not a single one of them has decent ID protection.

Yes, it is a lonely road that Yuna truely walks.

But at least, after FF X-2, she's learned to make it all about herself. And isn't that what winning really is? Well, for a giant ho, I mean.

Cromage
Of all people, Shion Erde-Kaisers Galcian for the win. The universe implodes shortly afterwards.

Either that or Terra steals an ID-protection accessory. It works. >_>
